Introduction

If the printer supports it, you can print wirelessly with HP mobile printing solutions from a laptop or notebook, phone, or tablet directly to an HP printer.

HP offers several mobile printing solutions to choose from depending on the printing environment – home or business – and the mobile device operating system including the following:

  • Android

  • iOS

  • macOS

  • Windows

Ways to connect wirelessly

There are several ways to connect wirelessly from the mobile device to the printer depending on the printer capability and printer location.

WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

Icon

Description (of the connection type)

Wi-Fi - Use the Wi-Fi capability on the laptop, phone, or tablet to print to a nearby printer connected to the same wireless network.

Wireless Direct or Wi-Fi Direct - Use to connect directly to the nearby printer as you would to a Wi-Fi network.7

Cloud / Internet (wireless connection via a different subnet) - Use to print to a printer on a different network or to a printer in a remote location.6

Some sample scenarios include:

  • A nearby printer when the mobile device is only connected using the phone/tablet network

  • A nearby printer when the mobile device is not connected to a local Wi-Fi or Wireless Direct network

  • A remote printer in another location via a cloud connection

  • A nearby or remote printer on a different network (different subnet)

Near Field Communication (NFC) - Connect directly to the printer as you would to a Wi-Fi network using a phone or tablet. Discover and print by bringing the two NFC zones together.

The printer must be NFC-capable and configured to print using NFC, and the NFC feature must be turned ON on the phone or tablet.

Operating systems

Review the mobile printing information for your operating system.

Android

The following Android-compatible mobile print solutions can be used to print from phones or tablets running Android OS 4.4 or newer (unless otherwise noted).
