If the printer is close enough to use a cable, I'd utilize one. If the printer is further than a 15" cable can reach, I'd setup wirelessly and do a test print. I use rather expensive paper and don't want to waste it if there's an issue with the data sent wirelessly. I'm using an old Canon Pro-100 with a MBP M2 and haven't had any problems via cable.
I'm closer to a 6' / 2M cable just because I'd like to put the printer to the left of my desk (and the port is on the left side of the printer when looking at it from the front. Curious about the short length, did you mean 15 feet or do you have some experience with issues using cables longer than a foot or two?
