Hi,

 

If instructions say you need a cable then you need a cable. On many printers now you don't need USB cable to setup (that why many boxes don't have them) and you can run setup from your computer or press a button from printer.

I figured as much. I'm just at my office and I was being lazy and didn't want to go buy one. Thanks for the quick response. I'm gonna go see the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and I will deal with getting a new cord tomorrow lol.

This issue can be resolve depends on the router you have. Check out this link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02847467

 

If your router has WPS button, you can set it up without the use of the USB cable, if not you have to use the normal method. Hope this works for you.
