how to use an usb 2.0 cable from an hp Printer to an imac 24"

Is there a way to connect an HP Printer Office Jet 8610 which uses a usb 2.0 cable to a new Imac 24" computer? I would like it to be connected versus wireless

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

Sure, SunCityGal from Arizona… you’d need a usb-c to usb ‘B’ 2.0 cable… i believe… you may also need to ensure the software for it is updated for Monterey… available here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-pro-8610-e-all-in-one-printer-series/5367603/model/5367606… here’s a link to a picture of the cable you’d need : https://www.amazon.ca/Cable-Matters-Printer-USB-C-Black/dp/B00UUBRV9C?th=1


hope this helps
