Hi, I want to connect a M110we printer via a USB cable to my Mac.  The Mac detects it, but I can't print - and have an orange flashing light.

 

I can't update the drivers, as the driver update says the printer is in error mode.

 

But I can't get it out of error mode. 

 

The HP Smart App won't connect to the printer either.

 

Please help - it shouldn't be this hard!

You can't print only with USB.

 

M110we requires to be connected to the internet and register with your username and password to HP+ service  then the orange flashing will go OFF and you can connect and use it with a USB.

Thanks - so what is the function of the port for the USB cable then?

 

I don't have Wifi; just mobile data as I live in a rural area.

Internet access over Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot is mandatory for that printer model to work, and then you can use a USB connection.
