Bought this printer for work because it said you could print with a USB cable, but due to security reasons they only allow to print from your computer through USB, it can't be wireless. The security also won't let me download the HP smart app, is there a way to download the driver without having the app? So I can print through a USB and not have the trouble of returning the printer.

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are trying to connect the printer using a USB cable, I am glad to assist you.

 

You can install HP Easy start to connect the printer using the USB cable.

Here is the link to download and install HP Easy start:- Click here

(Note: Don't connect the USB cable in until prompted during the install.)

 

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
