Pinter originally set up for wireless printing using HP software on my laptop. Working fine.
However I would now like to add printing via a USB cable for times when my network may not be functioning. The User Manual (English) states at page 135
"To change from a wireless connection to a USB connection (Windows). Connect the USB cable to the printer"
I do not want to CHANGE my wireless connection (it's functioning properly) but want to ADD a connection via USB for times when my network is down.
I do not know exactly what to do. Once I connect the USB cable does the HP software run automatically allowing me to add their USB driver?Then, will I have the ability to choose the wireless or USB connection in the print select dialog window?
I don't see any information on this in the Users Guide. If I have missed that, a helpful reference to the appropriate page would be most welcome

Once you connect the USB cable the windows will install your USB printer, then you will have 2 the same printers installed Officejet pro 9010 and Officejet pro 9010 Copy 1 later you can rename them to distinguish which one is wireless, and which one is USB so you send the print job to the one connected.
