The laptop will need the proper drivers to access your printer via the USB ports. What make of print is it? Search online for "3d Printer drivers". I know for my ender 3 V2 there is one that I use that comes from China. It made me nervous to install it as everything was in a Chinese language, but as everyone else uses it and there was no alternative..
Assuming that you are running Windows you should see in the Device Manager under Ports an entry. Once the driver is installed it should indicate that a 3D printer is connected. I recommend using Ponterface to setup the printer and to use it for printing. You have to get the proper serial speed to communicate with the printer.
