Default USB Parallel adapter--source for driver?

Hi, all,

I am trying to connect my Epson Stylus Color 600 to a new HP Pavilion laptop
running Vista. Neither the laptop nor the QuickDock have a parallel printer
connection, so I bought a USB parallel adapter and tried to hook it up. The
laptop came with a driver for the printer, but when I plug everything in it
is only recognized as an "unknown USB device," and the list of ports I see
while trying to add the printer doesn't allow me to choose a USB port. Based
on some web searching, I am guessing that the missing link is a driver for
the USB parallel adapter itself. (I didn't realize I might need this when I
bought the adapter so I didn't look for one that came with software.) Anyway,
is there any reliable site from which a person can download USB parallel
driver software that works with Vista? Other ideas (short of scrapping the
printer) that I should try?

Thanks!
