HP OfficeJet Pro 6968
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

 My new Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series laptop has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port.   I prefer using a mouse instead of the touch pad so the mouse is plugged into the USB 2.0 port.    Does anyone know if the HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 will recognize and print from  a USB 3.0 port?

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

I've reviewed your post and after carefully looking into your printer specifications, here's what I found: The HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 only supports the - USB 2.0 PORT.

 

Which means, it wouldn't work on the USB 3.0 port.

 

I hope that answers your query,
