How Do I Connect My Mac to My Printer Without a Usb?
If your Mac and printer are already connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can use AirPrint to print without having to connect them with a USB cable. To do this, just make sure that your printer is turned on and in range of your Wi-Fi router, then follow these steps:
1. Open the document or photo you want to print in the app that created it.
2. Click the Share button , then click Print .
3. Click the Printer pop-up menu, then choose Nearby Printers or AirPrint Printers.
4. Choose your printer from the list, then click Print .
If you don’t see your printer listed, make sure it’s turned on and in range of your Mac, and check for any messages that might be blocking communication between your Mac and printer
Alternatively, if you have a USB cable handy (and your printer supports USB), you can connect the two devices directly using that instead. Just plug one end of the cable into your Mac’s USB port and the other end into an available port on your printer – most printers will have at least one located somewhere on the back or side panel.
Once plugged in, your Mac should automatically detect and install any necessary software drivers for printing purposes (assuming they’re not already installed).
How Do I Connect My Hp Printer to My Computer Without Usb?
If your printer is not already connected to the computer, you will need to use a USB cable to connect the two. Once the printer is connected, you can usually just turn it on and it will be ready to print. However, if you are having difficulty getting your HP printer to work without a USB connection, there are a few things you can try.
First, make sure that the printer is turned on and properly connected to the computer. If the printer is turned off, it will not be able to communicate with the computer and cannot print. Next, check that the drivers for the printer are installed on the computer.
Drivers allow communication between devices and provide instructions for how they should work together. Without drivers installed, your devices may not be able to communicate properly or may not work at all.
If you’re still having trouble printing without a USB connection, there are some software programs that can help enable wireless printing from an HP printer.
These programs typically need to be downloaded and installed onto both the computer and the printer in order for them to work together wirelessly. Once these programs are installed, they can often help enable wireless printing even if your HP printer does not have built-in wireless capabilities.

Conclusion
If you have an HP printer and a Mac computer, you may be wondering how to connect them together without using a USB cable. Fortunately, there are a few different ways that you can do this.
One way is to use Apple’s AirPrint technology.
This allows you to print wirelessly from your Mac to any compatible printer. To use AirPrint, simply make sure that your printer and your Mac are connected to the same wireless network. Then, open the document or image that you want to print and click the “Share” button.
From the share menu, select “Print.” Your Mac will automatically detect any compatible printers on the network and let you choose which one you want to use.
Another way to connect your HP printer to your Mac is by using Google Cloud Print.
This service allows you to print from any device – including your Mac – as long as it is connected to the internet. To set up Google Cloud Print, simply go to Google’s website and follow the instructions provided. Once everything is set up, printing from your Mac will be just like printing from any other device.
If neither of these methods work for you, another option is to buy a USB-to-Ethernet adapter and connect your printer directly to your router using an Ethernet cable. This will allow you to print without having to worry about wireless networks or internet connections. Simply plug in the adapter, connect it to your router, and then plug in the Ethernet cable from your router into the back of your printer.
