Before buying one of these adapters - make sure it has drivers for your specific OS (eg Windows, 32- or 64-bit). Not all of these adapters have 64-bit support.
You might also consider getting cheap second-hand computer with DB-25 Centronics interface, and use it as "Print Server".

Those adapter cables do not always work too well, you may want to convert that printer to a network one, then anyone in the house can use it at any time. The network print server boxes are very cheap used. JetDirect 170X for example are $10-20 on ebay.
