As Roger said, NOOOO you can't re-plug an RS232 and make it a parallel!!
I had exactly the same problem when I went to the Acer laptop - no parallel port!
I found the ONLY way around it was to buy a bi-directional PCMCIA parallel card from the USA. Watch the bi-directional bit - some cheap printer parallel emulators can't talk back and forth. It cost me more than the camera!
Now I've moved on and use a DMK21 for solar and an ATiK16ic for the spectro.
