I just purchase a OfficeJet 200 Wi-Fi printer. without reading through the instructions on how to print in a offline setting say in the place without Wi-Fi, or cell phone data service. I thought it would be nice to be able to print when in remote areas off my laptop. I see that there is a USB port on the printer, and I'm assuming I can print my design drawings onto a PDF file and transfer to a flash drive. and then move it to the printer via sneaker net, but it would be nice if I could use a USB  port my computer to the officejet 200 with a cable only, and no Wi-Fi. if there's a way to do this, it would save me some investigations in the manual
