USB may per se be possible via an appropriate cable adapter. However, this type of connection does not necessarily have to mean that the HP Smart Tank 750 All-In-One Printer will work with macOS Sonoma 14 and your Mac.


The printer in question is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a supported model. AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections, and should not require additional drivers/software for macOS. So, a better way is probably to connect the printer wirelessly to a Wi-Fi router, or wired to one of the LAN ports of that router.


The printer manufacturer may suggest using an extra app for setup, ink management, and similar purposes.
