Best Answer

It depends entirely on what the printer has for a connector. USB, Firewire or Ethernet/wireless.

Make sure you have the printer drivers installed on your computer first for your particular model of printer before you hook the USB, Firewire or ethernet cable up to the computer.

You can also go to the printers web site and look in their support area for any updated drivers and they usually have the manuals you can download also.

Make sure the printer model has drivers for the MacOS first.

Then just hook the printer via the USB or ethernet cable and it will find the generic drivers for it automatically. Then you should go to the Printers manufacturers support site and download the full latest drivers.

If it still doesn't show up go into the System Preferences and open the Printer/Fax option and in the left side window click on the + option and you can chose it manually.
