Default Where's my serial port?

I have two label printers that use serial ports - but my new Vista HP
Pavilion doesn't have any. Is there some connecting cord I can
purchase to get the job done?

Here is an explanation and a picture of a serial port. Look at your
machine whether you have one of those. Usually they are present. 'Serial
port - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia'

Very few new machines come with a serial port these days. Some
have a header on the motherboard but no cable to the outside
of the case. You have to buy a header-to-DB-9 cable.
