Over USB, with OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi
Printers with a screen you control with a knob or buttons almost always run Marlin firmware, and connect over USB through OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi.
What is OctoPrint?
Printers like this support serial printing: another device feeds the printer the print over USB, a few commands at a time. SimplyPrint does that through a plugin for OctoPrint, free serial-printing software that runs on a small computer, like a Raspberry Pi, plugged into your printer with a USB cable.

We can't be completely sure from these answers, but you'll know within minutes: the first steps of the setup guide check whether your printer fits.
If it works, give the printer its real name when you add it in SimplyPrint. We follow how it prints, and that's how printers get confirmed and onto our list.
