How can I use the printer, via usb only, if my computer is not connected to the internet and I'm in an area without internet. I have a HP DeskJet 2720.

You'll need to install the full driver printer software.

 

You will need a way to get the software installation package onto the system - that does require that you have a connection to download the software, for example, to a USB stick.

What else?

 

Read the User manual - connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable (that you purchase) or you can connect the printer to the computer using Wi-Fi Direct > Wireless without the need for a router / network.
