@nncdvs, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
Yes, your HP DeskJet 4133e All-in-One Printer can still print using a USB cable even if the wireless connection is unavailable.

What You Need:

USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable (also called a printer cable).

The Type-A end plugs into your computer (standard USB port).

The Type-B end plugs into the printer (square-shaped port at the back).

Steps to Connect via USB:

  • Buy a USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable (commonly available online or in electronics stores).
  • Plug the cable into your printer and computer (Windows should automatically detect it).
  • Install drivers if needed:

If printing doesn’t work immediately, install or update the HP Smart app.

Set USB as the default printer:

  • Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners in Windows.
  • Click your HP DeskJet 4133e, then select Manage > Set as Default.
     

This should allow you to print without a wireless connection.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
