What is necessary when connecting a laser printer directly to a wired network?

That depends on the type of printer. Many modern printers have a built-in ethernet interface, and some of the newest offer WiFi or BlueTooth; you don't actually need to plug in in order to print.
For more common home laser printers, you'll need to either get a print spooler (which is sometimes built into your network switch or your gateway router) or connect to a host PC and then share the printer.
