I have an older Brother printer and a 2 year old Macbook Air. The wireless connection works for about one day then I have to set up the wireless again on the printer. That's a big pain. I want to use a USB connection to the printer. I have a USB dongle, that has usb ports, an hdmi port, a usbc port etc.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
Plug the printer in and see if the MacBook Air finds it in System Preferences->Printers & Scanners->+ (Add Printer)
Some enhanced features may not be available without proper drivers though. Regular Printing should likely work.

I should also mention that Brother support tells me they will not support the MFC-J450DW model in conjunction with the MacBook Air running Monterey. So they are not going to update drivers for a printer that old.
I want to only print to USB connection with my Macbook Air
