How print from my wireless-capable laptop to HP ENVY 4500 WITHOUT USB cable or internet

[BillInEfland]

I want to be able to send a print command to my printer from my laptop WITHOUT using a USB cord,

and WITHOUT being connected to the internet.   I am not interested in being able to access my printer

over the internet, from (say) a mobile device.

@BillInEfland, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Change your local wireless network connection to the printer's HP wireless direct connection to print or scan from your computer.

NOTE: 

The HP wireless direct connection is for printer use only. When you change the connection from your local network to your printer's HP wireless direct connection, you must reconnect to your local network after printing to access the Internet.

1. Make sure that the print driver is installed on the computer.

2. On the printer control panel, touch the HP wireless direct icon (), or navigate to the Network Setup or Wireless Settings menu and touch Wireless Direct, and then turn on the connection.

3. To require a password (recommended) when connecting to the printer, select On or On with security. Note the security passcode, and then touch OK.

4. On the computer or laptop, click the wireless icon () or (), and then select HP-Print-xx-[your printer model name] from the list of available networks.

   NOTE: 

   If the printer name does not display, you might be out of range of the HP wireless direct signal. Move your computer and printer closer together.

5. If prompted, type the security passcode from the printer control panel.

6. Open the photo or document that you want to print, and then click File > Print.

7. Select your printer model from the list of available printers, and then click Print.

8. Reconnect the computer to your normal wireless network after the print job completes.

Refer to this document HP Wireless Printers - Printing with HP Wireless Direct for more details.
