Newer HP printers are also beginning to simply refuse to work without first being connected to wifi, even if there's a USB connection. I've seen it happen to two friends of mine. Outright refuses to not connect to a wifi network, uses its own DNS and all. CUPS PCL drivers for these devices are nonexistent. You're at this point forced to use HP's windows software which *emulates a Parallel port* in at least one case.
