HP LaserJet 5L

Hi,

There is a LaserJet 5L printer that worked on an old PC with Windows XP and Windows 7. Now, I need to connect it to a new PC with Windows 10 x64 with ASRock H310CM-HDV/M.2 Motherboard. But the new PC does not have an LPT port (IEEE 1284-A).
Please advise:
1. What connection solution is more appropriate to use in this case? LPT DB25-PinHeader 430928766.jpg

 

or printer cable-adapter USB2.0 A-LPT C36 M/M?

2. Are there any drivers for this case?

Personally I would try a parallel to ethernet print server.
