No plug for printer

I just received my new Dell Dimension 5150 today and noticed that there is no plug or port to plug in my older type printer. Is there an adapter or a card I need to purchase to add to the computer so I can use this printer ? I have another combo printer that I also use for color printing / copying/ and scanning etc. But I want to comtinue to use the older Epson Laser jet 1500

I am assuming it is a parallel printer. If it is you'll need one of these. If it is a serial printer you'll need the serial version.
