Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My hp laserjet 4p (purchased decades ago) came with serial cord connecting printer to computer. My new computer only has USB port for printer. Is there a cord with a serial connection for the 4p and a USB connection for printer? The 4p has been an excellent printer that still runs like new, but my decades old computer just died (and the new computers don't a serial port that fits the 4p).

Yes, you can use  a usb-parallel adapter or a parallel print server to work with HP 4P. Both will do.
