HP 4200 wont re-connect to Vista

Hi All, Hope your having a better day than i am!!

HP 4200 printer (Parallel connection only)

Dell VOSTRO 200 PC (with no Parallel printer port) Running VISTA HOME

Thats the hardware out the way.

Now i got around this problem buy using a USB to Parrallel adapter which worked fine. Unfortunatley over the festive season our offices were refurbed and all computers were disconnected.

Once i reconnected the pc and printer the connection no longer worked.

I have deleted the origional print driver and reinstalled the printer to no avail. when i connect the printer to the USB it just comes up with a lovely Microsuck text bubble telling me a USB device is unrecognised or malfunctioning.

Any idea how to get around this as its a work pc and i have over 60 emails to print!!!

any suggestions welcomed
