No, definitely no. RS232 (serial) and Parallel are very different and so the conversion is not just a wire-to-wire up-size/down-size. I doubt converters are avialble for Parallel to RS232 due to the intended uses/differences.

You would likely find PCMCIA/Express Card adaptorswhich provide you with LPT. But I'm not sure the expenditure on that would be cost effective - might cost half as much as a new camera!
