How to connect an HP4m with an I-Mac

I have an HP4m with an apple talk connection and having upgraded my computer, would like to connect it to a new I-Mac via a USB cable. It appears from the web sites that neither Apple nor HP support (e.g., have cables) for the HP 4m. Any ideas?
 
You have to get a USB to parallel connector. I have the same printer and connect to it via the USB/Parallel Port Connector. Works like a champ. OR you can get a USB print server device and hook that printer to your network.
 
Thanks for the quick response. Were you able to get an apple computer (in this case, an I-Mac), to find the computer with the USB/Parallel port connector? When I tried this, the I-Mac did not find the printer ...although I not yet downloaded the HP4m drivers on to the I-Mac.
