Earlier in this thread there was some discussion about the availability 
of HP printers to connect by a USB connection.  As said before most HP 
printers can be connected wireless or by USB.  It is possible that when 
they look at the printer they do not see the USB plug that has become 
standard on most computer. (The one about that is about 1/8" by 3/8".) 
Many of the HP printers use the less common plug that is shaped like a 
house.   It they have used this type of plug since at least 2000, as it 
was on the HP932c printer that I bought in the late 1990's
