    Looking at the device on HP web site it looks like this device is designed to only work over ethernet or wifi. You'll need to connect to the device via ethernet network switch/router or connect to a wireless router, none of the USB ports will connect the way home printers do. Then look for the ip address of the printer on the network (192.0.*.*) and add it to windows print settings.

    Also check the HP support page for the device they usually have software with a wizard to install drivers/firmware and setup network printers for you.
