1. connet the printer th PC with USB cable. There is NO USB connector on this printer. I looked very hard for it. There just is NOT one. The outside of the unit is as smooth as a dinner plate except for a small rectangular hole for the two-pronged AC power cable. It's not even

There is a photo on https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-deskjet-2755e-all-in-one-printer that clearly shows and labels the "USB 2.0 port (for connection to PC)" on the back of the printer, so if your printer doesn't have one, it suggests you may have a different model, or a fake. I suggest enquiring wherever you bought it.
PS please DO NOT send me an individual reply. Keep it on the list. I went to the suggested page. There is no photo that shows a USB port.
