Connecting HP4152e to old desktop without wifi - HELP

[KathyK921]

How can I connect my new HP 4152e (wireless printer) to my old desktop without wifi.  The internet suggested a USB wifi adapter for the desktop or to tether my cell phone. I've ordered the adapter (2 day wait), but tethering my cell phone did NOTHING.  Am I going about this correctly?  I am not a technical person, so any guidance would be great.  If it matters, I have windows 10.

@KathyK921, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I see that you would like to print from your desktop that does not have a wireless feature.

In this case, kindly use a printer USB cable to connect the devices.

For more info on the setup, follow the steps mentioned in this document - HP printer setup (USB cable)

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Thank you.  But I don't see a place to plug a usb cable into the printer.  Is there one on this HP DeskJet 4152e and I'm missing it?

Kindly look at the back of the printer to find the USB port.
