I don't know how the airwolf performs with USB printing. We obviously never tried (or spent time on) getting Cura to work with non UM printers.

If you want ethernet support, you could have a look at octoprint.

I have a non UM printer and have used the usb connection for the past two years without a problem. I have no idea whether it makes a difference but whilst I slice with Cura I run my printer with Reptier Host software.

It may stop if your computer go to sleep mode or if you close the app.
