Product: HP Envy 5000
Operating System: macOS 10.15 Catalina
I have just moved back to uni and my uni WiFi does not allow things like printers, Alexas etc to connect so I have been unable to print (have checked this with IT, there's no way I can connect it to the internet). I was wondering if there is a way to print from my laptop with a wire or whether there is an access point mode on the printer which would allow me to print despite being unable to connect the printer to WiFi?

You can print with a USB cable, needs to be purchased separately, plain USB A to USB B cable is all you need.
