Printer connection to USB

[JBR27091968]

Dear All,

I brought hP Smart Tank 675 printer and set-up wi-fi, it worked fine i can do all the function. I connected the printer with USB cable and could not see the hP smart application recognized the printer?? How to know printer is connected to computer or mac book pro via cable since anyway connected to wi-fi i can do all the function but i want to ensure it is connected to cable also so that when wi-fi is down for some reason i can print via cable.

Please help

@JBR27091968, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I see that you are able to print wirelessly from the Mac. However, you also want to confirm the USB connectivity.

• To check if the printer is getting recognized by your Mac:

1. From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.
2. Click System Report.
3. Under the Hardware heading on the left side of the System Information window, click USB.

USB 3 devices appear under USB 3.0 Bus, and USB 2 devices appear under USB 2.0 Bus. 

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
