I have a working OfficeJet which connects only with a cable. Before tossing it, I wonder if there is any "adapter"  that may might convert this printer to WIFI capabilities? THANKS!

Thank you for joining HP Forums.

It's a pleasure assisting you in finding answers to your technical queries.

 

I'll be happy to assist you with Changing from a USB to a Wireless Connection.

 

Change the connection type with the HP Printer Setup & Software utility or with the HP Smart app for Windows 10. Leave the USB cable connected until you are prompted to disconnect it.

  • HP Printer Setup & Software utility: Search Windows for 'HP', and then click the name of your printer in the results to open HP Printer Assistant. Click Utilities or Tools in the top menu bar, click Printer Setup & Software or Device Setup & Software, and then click Convert a USB connected printer to wireless to launch the utility.

  • HP Smart app: On the app home screen, look for a Make printing easier by connecting your printer wirelessly message at the top of the window. If it displays, click Learn More to start the guided conversion.

    NOTE: 

    If the message does not display, use the method to convert the connection through the HP Printer Setup & Software utility.
