I have an HP envy inspire 7955E. There is a receptacle on the back of the unit and I can’t find what this is for. Any ideas?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

It's a USB port that -- after the printer is set up -- can be used with a USB cable to connect the printer directly to your computer.

A label is covering the USB port on this printer. Use the HP Smart app and a network connection to set up your
printer and receive the HP+

must also still be connected to the Internet if you have enabled HP+.
