Hi @Computerme,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
To connect your HP DeskJet 2600 All-in-One Printer to a Windows XP computer without internet, you can use a USB cable and install the driver manually. Here's how:
Offline Setup for HP DeskJet 2600 on Windows XP
Step 1: Connect via USB
- Plug the USB cable from the printer into your Windows XP computer.
- Power on the printer.
Step 2: Install the Driver Manually
Since you don’t have internet on the XP machine, you’ll need to:
- Use another device with internet access to download the driver.
- Transfer it to your XP computer using a USB drive.
🔗 Download the driver here:

On the page, select Windows XP as your operating system to get the correct driver.
Step 3: Install the Driver
- On your XP computer, run the downloaded driver file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
- The printer should now be ready to print and scan.
I hope this helps.
Take care, and have an amazing day!
