I see it supplies the newer ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34).
You have a few choices and the parallel port you noted is not usuable for this one.
1. Install an ExpressCard with USB ports. Here's one -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124013
20 bucks seems to be a reasonable solution.
2. Install a wifi or ethernet printer server. These are all over the map from 20 to 100 bucks. Very complicated at times to setup so let's stop here.
