Aug 26, 2015 1:23 PM in response to stentor007by sberman,I would never consider using a USB printer. AirPrint printers are the way to go:
About AirPrint - Apple Support
That way, the printer can deal with its own power needs, and the MacBook Air does not get drained.

Aug 26, 2015 7:48 PM in response to stentor007by John Galt,I suspect your question involves the new MacBook with its single USB-C port, not the MacBook Air or any other model Mac, no? The forum for that is here: MacBook
USB-only printers are pretty much ancient history. For future purchases don't consider anything other than AirPrint.
