It depends on the age and sophistication of the laptop, but if it has a card slot on the side (it would almost look like a floppy drive, but a little skinnier) you can add a USB hub card. It looks like a long, thick credit card with USB ports on the end, and runs about $20. However, if the laptop does not have any USB ports already, it may be too old to support USB.

i think the cable is going to be worth more than your laptop, they sell "parallel to usb" cables.
www.cablestogo.com
or try www.tigerdirect.com
you'll have to shop around of course for the cheapest price but they range anywhere from $15-$20.
a parallel port is the 25 pin(holes) purple plug on the back of your laptop. the cable that you should get should have a 25 pin male parallel port on one side and the usb on the other. im sure you know what i mean by male...
