USB cable to Parallel and Serial

Can anyone recommend a connector or adapter to provide both a serial and parallel (printer) port connections for a laptop that only has USB?
I would like to be able to use it when no power is readily availble as well. (but 12v car battery is)

I want to be able to connect my webcam for guiding (usb), 300D camera (parallel/printer) and LX200 auto guiding (serial). I only have the 2 usb ports so I was thinking 1 for the webcam and ther other for both serial and parallel (printer) port.

Ideas?

Thanks!
