you are unable to connect your device now...

Use printer sharing

If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an
HP Photosmart connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer
sharing.
The computer directly connected to the HP Photosmart acts as the host for the printer
and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client,
has access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host
computer or from the control panel on the HP Photosmart.

To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer

Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen
Help.
