DB 9S / DB 25S to USB 2.0

I have a Sieko lable printer and can't use it because my new Dell laptop has no serial ports. But lots of USB 2.0 ports. Is there a converter/connector available that I can use to get my lable printer back in use? If so, where can I buy one?
Thanks in advance.
Jake

Dell probably sells a docking station for the laptop with a serial port.

Otherwise, these people have an adapter for under $20.
