Does anyone know if they make an adapter to convert the printer port on a PC
to connect to a USB printer?

I have a small print server box that has a parallel output. I want to hook a
USB only printer to it.

All the adapters I've found convert the other way (USB on computer to
parallel port on printer).

Does anyone have one, or know where I can find one of these items?

Thanks!
