Have to be careful with what is being asked here.
Does your Dad have a DesignJet 5500 as is noted in the link you provided? It's a massive printer...You've also asked for a serial cable, and linked to a parallel descriptor on the DesignJet 5500's printers Spec page. :) (Serial cables are not used for printing unless its USB.)
If you do need to connect a DesignJet 5500, your options will be different depending on if it has addons. I don't have access to one, but I do have a DesignJet 5400 and it only has a USB B, Network, and USB A ports.
If you are connecting to this monster directly from the computer, /u/Boom2Cannon is correct, you need a USB A to USB B cable.
If you really are needing an old style parallel cable (as linked to in the OP), you will need one of these, but double check! Most computers these days no longer have a parallel port.
