That's true.  There are also parallel to USB
converters on the market which you can use
to receive data from a parallel printer port.

Quoted from answers.com:
"The Buslink USB printer cable is a
low-cost high-performance single chip
solution that provides bi-directional
connectivity between any standard
IEEE-1284 compliant parallel port
devices and the Universal Serial Bus
USB interface. Software drivers are
also provided to create a seamless
migration path from traditional parallel
port to the USB environment."
