The printer will have either a parallel port (a long thin connector) a USB port or a network port, or any combination of these 3. These days, most printers can work on USB, so if the printer did not come with a USB cable, you can pick one up from any electronics store for relatively cheap.
After you've physically connected the printer to your computer, you'll need drivers for it. If it did not come with a CD, go online to the website for the brand of printer, and download their drivers.
