Dell has not validated oem parallel and serial card for Inspiron 3020.

you could try Dell 7G27M if your 3020 is a tower which supports full height add in card

Dell Parallel/Serial Port PCIe Card (Full Height) for MT

Customer Kit,Card,Interface,Peripheral Component Interconnect Express,S/P,Full Height,D9. $11.91

and run the Dell Sunix driver c/w Optiplex

no promise it would work in Inspiron though.

If the parallel port is needed for old printers, consider the alternative of parallel to usb printer cable.
