@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.
