Question adapter to route from ethernet-based iMac to wireless printer?

[need2sleep]

I have an iMac from 2017, but all the lower end printers I've found use wireless.
Can you point me to a device that will allow my iMac to print to a wireless printer?

Do you not have a wireless router? If so an ethernet wired iMac and a WIFI printer should be able to communicate.

Wi-Fi access point is owned by assisted living establishment, and is wide open security-wise. Wish to print possibly sensitive information, like a bank statement.

Can I buy a device to make this jump for me without having to go through the building's Wi-Fi access point?

I've heard of print servers...

Can I still go through the building's Wi-Fi access point but have security in doing so?

Thanks.

Even WIFI enabled printers typically have a USB port. Can you use USB ?

Make and model printer?

Some printers will "hold" a print job until the sender physically goes to the printer and enters in some sort of access code.

Check the printer's specs and User Guide/Manual to determine if that feature is available.

Likely dependent on how "low end" that printer is.

Yes! I read the spec sheet and it does indeed have a USB port. This completely solves my problem.

Thank you both for responding to my need.
Best wishes,
