i don't understand why i have to go to the internet when i'm only setting up an officejet pro 8025e USB printer using the quick setup drivers. i should be able to set it up locally without the internet being needed.  i even chose the "off-line" driver but was still directed to the internet at some point during the installation.

Welcome to the HP support community

 

Which operating system is installed on the computer to which this printer is connected?

To install or add a wired or local printer
On the taskbar, select the Search icon, type Printers in the search bar, and then select Printers & scanners from the search results to open the Printers & scanners system setting.
Next to Add a printer or scanner, select Add device.
