Plotter problems

I have a Roland plotter I used for drafting plans etc. Since our last renovation was a few years ago and we have moved twice since then it got put to one side. It runs only from parallel and serial ports. I had a laptop that had those and ran Windows 8.1 (Black sheep of windows family.) Before that windows 7 and previous windows ran it fine. When my Windows 8.1 computer died I could only get laptops with USB ports..

Despite buying a multiplicity of adapters, USB to both Parallel and Serial, I have never managed to get the plotter working with current laptops.

I have scoured the internet and the forum for my drafting program without result. Anyone got any ideas?
