Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

The printer supports the USB printer cable option.

 

You might wish to consider using Wi-Fi Direct.

Reference > HP printer setup (Wi-Fi Direct)

 

Connect the printer as you want it done,

Next,

Install the printer software / applications you intend to use.

 

Note that HP Smart is better suited to a network and / or Wi-Fi Direct.

==================================

Printer - Full Feature Software

 

HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver generally adds at one, possibly least one, possibly two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and/or HP Scan.

 

NOTES:  

 

HP Scan is not installed if the printer does not support Scan.

 

The Printer Assistant is not installed if the type of full driver software does not support it.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver. No Sign-in required.

 

Reinstalling?

 

  • Uninstall existing full driver printer software from Programs and Features.
  • If your printer includes a separate "help" in Programs and Features, uninstall that, too.
  • Restart the computer and log in.
  • If the printer is connected to the computer using a printer USB cable, remove / disconnect the cable before loading the software.

If / When asked, opt for the Full Driver / Full Software to be installed.

 

If using a USB cable, (re)connect the cable only when instructed to so, near the end of the installation.

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in.

he installation of the full driver generally adds at least one or more shortcuts to the Desktop.

 

 Note Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.

 

 

  • Printer Assistant – Where still supported as part of the full driver printer software
  • HP Scan Assistant – For those printers that no longer provide the Printer Assistant
  • HP Scan – Shortcut on Desktop named for the printer model
  • When installed, HP Universal Scan software adds a separate self-named “HP Scan” shortcut

 

 

Printer Assistant shortcut > Tab Scan > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable

Or

HP Scan Assistant shortcut > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable
