Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community. No, the printer does not come with Ethernet port:

Alternatively, you can use an USB cable, but need to purchase it separately as it does not come in box.

 

Thanks.

Does the printer have a port for a USB cable? I don't see where I can plug it in.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

The USB port is to the right of the power port (where the power cable is inserted)

Once I connect the printer to the PC with the USB cable, will it have instructions to set it up or will all the features already be available?

Thank You
