The same way you connect that printer to a desktop.

Most modern printers are connected to computers using either USB or EtherNet, some connect using WiFi. You will also need to install the Canon device driver software that came with the printer if you want to be sure you can use all of its features (many OSs can automatically recognize the printer and install their own driver for it, but frequently this driver does not fully support all features of the printer).

Any printer will work with any computer if it has the drivers. Apple has basic printer drivers for most printers built in but some printers need specific drivers.

If you can find Mac drivers for that Dell model printer then all you have to do is hook it via USB or Wireless.

Apple should have generic drivers for most printers so you should be able to just plug it in and it should work. You may want to down load the latest drivers from HP for more usable options if needed.

Go to the System Preferences/ Printer & Scanners and see if it is listed. If not then click on the + on the bottom left and see if it will find it.

If it doesn't work as a "Plug-n-Play" you will have to go to HP's support website and see if they have Apple drivers.

If they are a fairly recent computer and printer you will use a USB cable to connect one to the other.
