You will need an s-video cable and that's about it.

Plug the cable into the laptop & into the back of the TV. Power up the laptop and the tv and set the tv to view the proper input signal.

The laptop may not send a signal to the svideo port until you tell it to. Look for a key marked "Fn" This is called a function modifier key, and pressing it in concert with other keys on the keyboard trigger certain hardware functions.

There will be a series of keys that have little subscripts or icons printed on them, ususally in the same color that the "Fn" key is printed with. Look for one that has a little picture that looks like a tv screen. Pressing Fn and the screen button will cycle the laptop through several display modes, one of which will be s-video output.

Note that S-video will not send the audio to your tv, for that you will need a separate cable.

What lead do i need to connect a printer to a laptop?

All you need to connect it to your laptop is a USB cable to plug into the printer so it can connect to the laptop. If your printer came with a CD, then install it using that.
