It allows HP to monitor page counts and provide automated security updates.</p> <p data-path-to-node="19"><strong data-path-to-node="19" data-index-in-node="0">Q: Can I use the printer if I don't have internet?</strong><strong data-path-to-node="19" data-index-in-node="51">A:</strong> Standard HP printers can use a USB cable. However, <strong data-path-to-node="19" data-index-in-node="105">HP+ printers</strong> will eventually lock if they don't "check-in" with the cloud every few days.
