Shiv...I just went out to buy a cable and I bought the only thing from Best Buy that was USB to Printer looking thing but I think it looks bigger than the one you posted in your thread...It was honestly the ONLY USB -> Serial looking side
You need to get a USB to DB9 (male - ie. with pins) serial port cable. It is like the one shown in the post quoted below and isn't as large as the one for the printer.

This one, the one that I use and know that works, can be found at:

Newegg.com also sells some for a cheaper price, can get one for about $15 shipped. But read the reviews, some people claimed to have probs with some of them.
