You can connect your USB printer by following a few easy steps: 1  Plug in the printer, and ensure that itâs turned off. Also, set up the printer with ink and paper and all that other good stuff, according to the directions that came with the printer. 2  Connect a USB cable to the printer and to your laptop. 3  Turn on the printer.
Locate your printer cable. Most printers will come with a cable packaged into the box, though sometimes they won't. Make sure you buy the right cable. Certain printer cables will allow you to connect the printer to your laptop via a USB port, while others will use a parallel port. Check your laptop for the proper connections.
