hp deskjet 2752 want to use for copies only no internet

[hayken]

My 89 year-old mother spends a great deal of her time creating scrapbooks/photo albums for her many grand children and great grand children. She uses a printer for making copies only. No computer. No Wi-Fi. No Internet.

She goes through colored ink like candy and printers, too.

My sister just bought her an hp deskjet 2752. It says to download the app to get instructions. I have looked up the instructions on the web and we don't want to do all that it says. We can't connect to Wi-Fi. We don't want to install software and drivers.

Can this printer be used as a stand alone copier without having to connect to the internet or install software and drivers?

I am in New York state and they are in Maine. I am trying to communicate what they need to do over the phone.

If you want to use your new device just to copy you only need an electric power source, nothing else.

Plug your printer to power, insert ink cartridges and printer will be ready for copy colour or black/white. Other functions need a computer nad internet connection
