Any CAT5 or CAT6 will work.

Make sure your printer is set for "wired network" and not Wi-Fi or USB.

 

You did not mention your printer model. If your printer has a report function, then print a report that shows the network information.  The IP subnet should match the same subnet your computer is on 

for example: 192.168.1.5 for laptop and 192.168.1.33 for printer.
