On this MacBook Pro we use here, it is fairly easy to print to real hardcopy paper because we have setup a Brother (Model HL-L2375DW series) printer with wireless network capabilities. And we opted for as no leads (ie. wireless) arrangement with it. In macOS (formerly Mac OS X) this wireless printing is called AirPrint.
But it is not just macOS that benefits from AirPrint setups. Your iOS iPad and iPhone devices can use AirPrint wireless printing as well.
Take a look at us starting at the “Add Printer” button stage of integrating the Brother (Model HL-L2375DW series) printer with AirPrint style printing documents off our MacBook Pro laptop with this animated GIF presentation.
