Angry Fire A USB type B connection to a Parallel port on the computer

Looking for a converter that makes a USB printer and changes it to a parallel plug to go in on the parallel port of the computer and not the other way around ie( a parallel plug for the back of the printer to a USB plug on the computer which i do not have)

I appreciate any and all help on this matter.

No such thing, going from a parallel printer to USB works, but from a USB printer to parallel is incompatible. Get a USB hub if you are out of ports, or a USB card if you don't have USB. If you don't have a USB-supported OS or you need parallel to print from DOS apps, get a parallel printer.
