HP ENVY 6452e All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I've already tried posting this in another area but no response.  Can anybody answer the following?

-----------------------------

This seems to be the right place to ask this. My son bought me an HP printer. An ENVY 6452e. He uses the internet. I do not so I don't have access. Can this printer even be installed & used w/o  internet access? I only have a couple of weeks to return it if that is not an option. Thank you.

Hi,

This is an HP Plus printer which requires internet access and HP Online account usage as clearly stated by its specification, Internet access is required for product setup, but can be avoided by declining the HP Plus activation offer:

You would need internet access in order to setup the printer for the first time, this cannot be avoided in any way.

 

During printer setup you may decline the HP Plus offer (which provide an Instant Ink trial and an additional year warranty period, the screen will be shown following the network connection:

Including a video sample of the printer setup for the printer, below screen is from 3:45:

Once declining the  the HP Plus offer and completing the first device setup you may install the printer on a computer with a USB connection without internet access.
