How do I hook up my Laser jet plus 4 printer to my Macbook Air?

I have a Laser Jet Plus 4 printer that works great for me and I want to use it to print from my Macbook Air. How do I do this?

PLEASE, keep in mind that I am a novice with all this and technical terms mean very little to me, Sorry! I basically need step by step instructions.

I know I need a different cord because the Laser jet does not have a USB cord. but what kind?

I use Verizon Fios Wireless, still have a modem as I use my old desktop to print from at the moment.

PLEASE, in simple terms, can someone help me?

Thank you

MacBook Air

One of my choices was Generic PCL Laser Printer, works like a charm!

Thats a common, and good choice, many LJ4+'s came with Postscript support so install the Generic Postscript driver as well, if supported you'll get a few features that the PCL driver lacks
