Driver(s) For My Printer

After a virus wiped out my hard drive,  I wound up having no OS at all on my computer,  so I had to start fresh with a new Windows 7 Full Premium Home edition.  When I went to re-install my printer (I have the original installation disc) I was unable to install it because the driver(s) were out-dated.  I know that Windows 7 has updated software already installed for the printer I have (HP DeskJet 882C color),  but that refers to the printer being connected by a USB port.  My printer is connected to the serial port at the back of my computer.  Is there any download available to update the driver for a serial port connection?  My printer is old,  but it's still perfectly usable,   and I'd really prefer not to have to go out and buy a new printer!  I'm desperate!  Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks, Renay Gutstadt

I think your best option will be to purchase a USB cable. When your printer was designed Windows 98 was the OS of choice. If you connect the printer via USB it is simple. If your PC does not have a USB port you can buy a Parallel to USB adapter. The printer does not have a serial port. The port on the back is a parallel which connects via a IEEE1284 parallel cable. This has a 25 pin connector at one end which does resemble a serial cable.
