You can, provided that the laser printer has a USB connection and provided that the computer has a USB port and that the Operating System is capable of supporting the printer (it must have the proper "drivers" loaded)

How do you hook up printer to lap top that's not usb?

Is the laptop not USB? Or is the printer not USB? Assuming it is the printer, there are components that will allow a serial or parallel printer to be used. Serial or parallel socket (female) on one end, while a USB plug (male) is on the other. There are also single parallel to USB cables for directly connecting the parallel port on the printer to the USB port on the laptop.

What is the difference between usb port printer interface and parallel port Interface?

The primary difference is that a USB interface type printer requires the computer to have a USB port (as all modern computers do) whereas a parallel interface type printer requires the computer to have a parallel (LPT) port (which many modern computers do not have.) There are USB-to-parallel converters however which plug into USB and allow the use of parallel printers. Additionally, many legacy applications only have support for parallel printers, in these cases, in order to use a USB printer it may be necessary to create a virtual parallel port and map the USB printer to it.

Most likely you will driver for your printer, thus find it before staring the process.
