How can I connect this printer in my iBook?
http://www.worldclassink.com/Apple-StyleWriter-II-Ink-printer7876.html
I do not have a cable for it. I’ve found it in the garbage, but I’m sure that it works.
I saw that it’s a serial cable. So I rephrase the question: given that I only have usb and firewire ports in my iBook, is there a way to connect the serial to a transformer for usb? Have you ever heard of a thing like that?
Thank you all for any answers.

you would have to establish what t ype of cable you need and then from there it should be easy, I am guessing it would be parallel or serial since it seems pretty old I may be wrong so if you look on the printer itself it will be visible.
If you are asking by looking at that image then im not sure however that site does have a link to the manul so i would take a look at the manual and it will tell you in there

You have an APPLE Stylewriter II (made by Canon uses BC-02 cartridge). One of the first bubblejet printers of the Nineties. Very good for its day.
However you will need a ADB (Apple Device Bus) to USB converter. (See source) New Apple computers lost the ADB port. This was used by Apple for keyboards, mice and printers.
I’ve not seen these converters this century. They cost $30-50 last century.
I’d suggest just getting a Mac compatible printer.
Good Luck
