Get a parallel to USB adapter. Or maybe they're called USB to parallel. You can still find them at Circuit City.

The port that old cable uses is called a Parallel Port. (In contrast to the old Serial Port often used for modems or old mice.) There are Parallel Port to USB adapters available. Here's one for example:

Did you check all around for the port on your Dell?
