How To Print Using A Smartphone by atheistandproud(m): 7:03pm On Oct 08, 2022

Things that you'll need
(Very important)
1. USB Printer cable
2. USB OTG
(Optional)
3. USB hub (extension part)
4. Wired keyboard
5. Wired mouse

This video was shot on a Redmi 9A as I had to use my RN9 Pro for the illustration. You can do this without the keyboard, mouse and USB hub. Just plug the printer USB into an OTG, connect to your phone and you're good.

Also ensure that you have both HP apps installed. That's all

Good one, bro.

Smartphone users need to be smart as their smartphones! I've been using this for years now and its been an easy ride, especially when i need to use my boss' coloured printer discreetly.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

I personally print over Wi-Fi from my phone.

It’s much simpler but the printer must be Wi-Fi enabled.

Great share all the same

You're welcome

If you noticed, in the video, when I clicked on all printers in the print menu, my Printer appeared twice. One was USB and the other was WiFi.

I can print over WiFi but I do not always have WiFi or MiFi to use so I just settled for this one instead. It's plug and play essentially.
