No.
It would be sillty to manufacture such an adapter because the tranfer rate on a parallel port is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy to slow.

a parallel port is the old printer out port.....so seeing info comes out, i cant see how you would get info in........i would say no......you can buy usb host cards http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_35&products_id=1151
