It's not a good practice to use printf in C++. But if you need, it can be used by including the library stdio.h

If I use it what type of prblm will arise?

No problem will arise if you use it like in C. It is just bad practice in C++ as you have a more useful and secure tool which is cout

any c program can be a c++ program and you don't have to include <iostream> to it. cause it will work without and sometimes printf is more suitable and convenient to use then cout.
ex:-
int x = 1, y = 2;
cout << "Array of a[" << x << "][" << y << "] ;" << endl;
printf( " Array of a[%d][%d] ;\n" , x, y);
output = Array of a[1][2] ;
as you see output is same but syntax are different.
