I doubt any cable will


when one connects a printer to a computer one installs a device driver made by the printer maker for the operating system one use


when one print on an iOS device one print to a wireless printer which support apples generic printing interface called airprint

if the printer does not support AirPrint then one has to rely on a printing app from app store many printer makers has free apps for their printers, doubt any of them would support a wired connection though


netgear had an app for computers both for macOS and windows which would make any printer the computer could print to work as an AirPrint enabled printer when the computer was running and on the same wifi network as the iOS devices not sure if the app is still around and if it works it was called netgear genie
