No.   When the Ethernet cable is installed the wireless is automatically disabled.  Why?  Only 1 IP and 1 network allowed.

 

However you can have USB and wireless or USB and Ethernet.

Have your read your User Guide form the HP Web site???  Has all the info.   But no.

 

Has only 1 Printer USB port in the back.  The front one if for a USB flash drive most likely.

 

UPDATE:  Sorry 2 USB in back.  One for the Printer USB cable, the other is for flash drives like the front one.
