Product: Deskjet 4152 - (All in One print, scan COPY)
Operating System: Other

I need to make copies at a remote location that has No wifi and no computer. This remote warehouse does have normal 110-120V electrical power.  i was looking for a 'stand alone' copier. The HP deskjet 4152  has All in one features for Printing, Scanning and COPYING..  The Copying is the only function I need.  Is it possible to just use this deskjet 4152 as a stand alone Copier without having wifi or a computer.???  What steps do I need to do first.? I removed the 4152 from box.. removed all Blue tape.. installed the cartridges, Plugged power cord to printer and to wall outlet. I pressed the power ON button and the. Cartridges made some noise... but  pressing the COPY button did Nothing. No noise etc. The message screen only says " searching for Wifi".   Is it possible to print a COPY of a document like a Stand alone Copier machine can.??  Can I print a TEST or Alignment page without a computer or wifi.?
Thanks for your insights.  P.S. a Local computer repair person said they could setup this 4152 to COPY without computer or wifi..but the amount they want to charge is more than price i paid for this ALL in one printer.    Thanks again for anyone's help or insights.

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

Yes, the printer an be used as a standalone copier.  Once you have unbox, install cartridges and paper, press the Wireless button to switch off the wireless (since it will not connect to any device).

 

Then use it as a copier by pressing color or black copy.  The alignment page automatically prints after 3 pages (of copy).

 

This resource shows the alignment page and how to scan it.  Skip to the part on "Print and copy and Scan alignment page" if instructions on how to load inks and paper are not needed.
