How can I plug my LPT printer into a motherboard with no parallel port? [duplicate]

I have a new computer with a Asus P5QL Pro motherboard and wanted to plug my old HP DeskJet 950C printer into it only to discover that the motherboard has no LPT/Parallel port.

"A PCI card is the best option, PCI parallel port cards are cheap at around ~$15USD with a few higher-end models available too. There are also PCI Express parallel port cards, but for using with a standard desktop printer, I don't think there are any advantages when using PCIe. I could be wrong on this though.

Here are some Newegg links:
