I just set up my new HP Smart Tank 7001 printer. During set up I was asked if I wanted to set up through Wifi which I did. Now however, I want to print through my USB cable since my Wifi can be very slow. I have three options for this HP printer in my print setting dropdown menu but none of them seem to lead to the use of the usb cable but instead print through Wifi. How do I print using my USB cable?
