USB to DB25

Hi,
I use a laptop at work to burn PROMs at remote locations. The burner uses a DB25 plug and its software will only look for LPT ports.
This was all fine till the Laptop passed away. The boss provided a new laptop but it dosen’t have any LPT ports, just heaps of USBs. I have purchased a USB to DB25 Adapter, but can’t get the system to make up a LPT port for the software to find.
Is it possible to make the USB port a ‘virtual’ LPT port. I am running Windows XP on the laptop.

Many thanks
