This depends on which laptop you have and what model printer you have. I would first check out this article to get your bearings: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/add-a-printer-mh14004/mac


If you're looking to physically connect, it's typically a USB cable. You'll need a cable that has the proper connections to plug into your laptop and printer. Keep in mind that these may be different connectors end like USB-A for your printer and USB-C for your laptop (just a guess).


If you're printer is Wi-Fi enabled, you won't need a cord as it'll be much easier to print using Wi-Fi.
