usb only connection for my printer

[RobB29]

Here is my question:

Is this possible to use this ENVY 6000 printer, including the full driver functionality, while connected over USB only, having NEVER connected to the internet?  As far as I can tell, you have to set this thing up over HP Smart, which requires a wifi connection.  After that,  you can use it only while connected (over wifi or ethernet), because if you are not online, HP Smart can't phone home, which means your printer does not work -- EVEN WHEN CONNECTED DIRECTLY VIA USB.

Can I use the Envy printer if I am offline, while connected over USB?  HOW?
