You are entirely at the mercy of Hewlett-Packard and the last drivers they have for this device were released for OS X Lion (10.7) in 2018. The odds that a 5-year-old driver would work with macOS Sonoma and a new MacBook Air is slim to none.
Apple's AirPrint does not support this device due to its age. Time for a new printer and ideally one supported by Apple's AirPrint, so you have printer vendor independence.

Hi,
Which was the latest Mac computer and operating system version (and driver) that worked with your ML-2010?
Have you tried resetting the printing system and (re-)adding the printer using drivers for a few other Samsung models?
Reset the printing system on your Mac to solve a problem – Apple Support (UK)
Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
If this does not help, you would probably have to carry out a series of experiments in an attempt to find a working driver for macOS 14 Sonoma.
A discussion Samsung ML-1860 and latest MacOS - Apple Community shows a workaround when printer drivers in the package download Samsung Printer Drivers v2.6 for OS X cannot be installed. A driver for an ML-2010 is not listed in the article Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support, but a very old discussion [printer] Samsung ML-2010 [RESOLVED] - Apple Community seems to indicate that it may be worth testing a Samsung ML-2240 Series driver (which is listed) as a substitute. However, other methods may be required. See also Old samsung printer (ML 1740) to Mac OS v… - Apple Community.
If you still have an older Mac with working drivers for the ML-2010, that computer could possibly be used as some kind of print server. A third-party Mac app like Printopia may even allow printing from an iPhone or iPad.
Thank you for the quick reply. It did print "Internal Error" using Samsung's C3010 Series Driver, so it seems, that the MacBook is contacting the printer and it did spit out "Internal error" along with some other stuff (position, system, line, version with there codes), even though didn't print document I wanted to print. I'm not a computer person, but I have a few Samsung ML-2010, they are great for printing alot. New printers seem to need ink after just a few copies. There must be an answer to using even old printers.
