However, since you're looking to use your HP inkjet printer at work without access to Wi-Fi, here are some ways you can print with your printer without Wi-Fi connectivity.

1. USB Cable Connection

• The most straightforward method is connecting your printer directly to your computer using a USB cable.
• Once connected, ensure that the correct printer drivers are installed on your computer. You can download them from HP's official website if needed.

2. Wi-Fi Direct (If supported)

• Many HP printers come with Wi-Fi Direct, a feature that allows the printer to create its own network to which you can directly connect without needing a traditional router or Wi-Fi connection.
• To use Wi-Fi Direct:
  1. On the printer's control panel, enable Wi-Fi Direct (this option might be located under Network Settings or Wireless Settings).
  2. On your computer or mobile device, search for the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network in the list of available networks.
  3. Connect to the printer’s network and then proceed to print as usual.
  4. Note that when using Wi-Fi Direct, your device will connect directly to the printer, but you won't have internet access while connected to the printer.

3. Bluetooth Printing (If Supported)

• Some HP inkjet printers may have Bluetooth functionality. This allows you to print directly from your mobile device or laptop by pairing it with the printer via Bluetooth.
• To use Bluetooth:
  1. Turn on Bluetooth on both your printer and the device you wish to print from.
  2. Pair the printer with your device.
  3. Select the printer from the print options on your device to start printing.

4. HP Smart App (via USB or Direct Connection)

• If your printer supports the HP Smart App, you can use it to print documents even if you don’t have Wi-Fi. The app can work over a USB connection or via Wi-Fi Direct.
• Download and install the HP Smart App on your computer or mobile device.
• Use the app to connect to the printer and print directly, either by USB cable or through Wi-Fi Direct.

5. Ethernet Cable (For Wired Network Connection)

• If the printer and your computer are located in the same area and you have an Ethernet port available, you can connect the printer to your computer or network using an Ethernet cable.
• This will provide a wired network connection without relying on Wi-Fi.
• Once connected, ensure the printer is properly recognized by your computer, and set it as the default printer.
