Dai - sorry to be stupid but what do I do with the exe file I download from the page you linked to and what then happens to the printer (Lexmark multifunvtion inkjet) I currently have connected via USB?? Can I leave both in place and choose between them when I need to print something? That'd be handy as the Lexmark offers colour.
You should be able to have as many printers installed as you need (or have ports for). At work, the login script our computers run connects the PC to the nearest network printers (usually one B&W laser, one Colour laser and one A3 colour laser), and the machines have a virtual printer for creating PDFs, and a virtual printer for creating MS Office documents. So, Windows copes easily with 5 printers..

If this PC has a parallel printer connection (will check tomorrow) why would I need a USB adaptor also? Would that provide a better/faster connection?

If the PC has a parallel printer connection, installing the USB connection will offer no advantage.
