6000 Envy printer will not work without WiFi even via USB connection!!!

[Mikey210]

I have a garden office without Wifi and I have moved my Envy printer into this location and it will not print via USB unless it has a WiFi connection ???  Is this for real - it can't be true? Seems like it's to do with the cartridge lock in activity by HP!! Any help  would be great before I bin the printer. Thanks Mike.
