Add a printer to your Wi-Fi network in AirPort Utility on Mac
You can connect one or more AirPrint, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB or WPS-compatible printers to your Wi-Fi network.
AirPrint, Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB-compatible printer: After you connect the printer to the base station or Time Capsule, all computers on the network can print to the printer. If the printer is AirPrint compatible, iOS and iPadOS devices can also print to it.
WPS-compatible printer: After adding a WPS-supported printer to your WPA/WPA2 or WPA2 password-protected wireless network, you can print without entering the network password. (To learn if your wireless printer supports WPS, see the documentation that came with it.)
Connect an AirPrint, Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB printer
Do one of the following:
Connect wirelessly: Join your wireless network from the printer’s interface. For directions, see the documentation that came with your printer.
Connect with a USB or Ethernet cable: Plug one end of the cable into your printer, and the other end into the base station’s USB port or Ethernet port .
Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Printers & Scanners in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
Select your printer on the right. If the printer isn’t listed, click the Add Printers, Scanners or Fax button, then add your printer.
See Add a printer and the Apple Support article Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network.
