Try it.

On USB with the basic driver specifically, modern HP printers will let you use the device for exactly 10 print jobs before it locks all functionality and demands that the unit be connected to the network and an HP account registered.

Do not buy them. Find a brother instead.

Wasn't that on Wifi-only devices, where the USB was still there for mass production cost saving reasons?

But yeah, don't buy HP; message received years ago already.
