Office Jet 200 mobile printer-Can I print with USB cable if there is no internet available?

[Bullyfishing]

I recently purchased a Office Jet 200 mobile printer for my business.  The problem I'm having is, there are areas when I don't have internet connection and can't connect the printer wirelessly. Can I use a USB or other  cable to connect the printer directly  to my phone to print?

There is no option for connecting a printer to your IOS smartphone with cable.

You can use wi-fi direct, that will allow your smartphone and printer to communicate wirelessly between themselves, without an internet connection.

Thank you...what about connecting directly with a cable to a laptop (windows)

Hi,

You can either print with USB or using Wi-Fi Direct from the laptop when a Wi-Fi network is not available.

Cheers,

Thank you, I have been trying to find information on how to connect with USB cable but so far I don't see the information. Do you know where  I can find out how to do this?

Plugging in the USB cable should be enough as long as the HP Software for your printer has already been installed.

For any issues follow below steps for Windows:
