Hi @krp1981,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand HP Easy Start is typically used to streamline the setup of your HP printer, but it often requires an internet connection to download necessary drivers and software. If you want to use your HP DeskJet 2720e (which is almost identical to the 2722e) offline or are looking for alternatives, here are your options:
 

1. Download the Full Driver and Software Package

• Visit HP's official support website for your printer model:
  HP DeskJet 2720e Drivers & Software.
• Select your operating system, and under the "Software and Drivers" section, look for the Full Software Solution or Driver-Only Installation.
• Download the full installer package, which includes the drivers and tools required to use the printer offline.
• Once downloaded, you can transfer this installer to another computer if necessary using a USB drive.

2. Use HPEasyStart_16_7_5.exe Offline

• Download the latest version of HP Easy Start from the HP website.
  If you want a specific version like 16.7.5, check third-party archives cautiously or contact HP Support directly for the exact file.
• During installation, choose the option to install only drivers or create a direct USB connection setup.

3. Set Up Without HP Easy Start

• If you're on Windows, use the Add Printer wizard:
  1. Connect your printer to your computer via USB or ensure it's on the same WiFi network.
  2. Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners > Add a Printer.
  3. Windows will search for drivers automatically or prompt you to install them manually.
• If you're on Mac, go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > + to add the printer manually.

4. Print Using Generic Drivers

• If specific HP drivers aren't available or you’re in a hurry, you can use the built-in Microsoft Print Class Driver:
  1. Add your printer via USB or network.
  2. Choose the generic driver option from the list.
• Basic print and scan functionality should work, though advanced features may not.

5. Alternative Printing Methods

• Use a mobile device:
  • The HP Smart App (available for iOS/Android) can print wirelessly and does not require complex setup.
• Email to print:
  • If your printer is connected to the internet, you can use HP ePrint. Assign your printer an email address, and print by emailing documents directly to it.
