How do you print from your smartphone with an HP printer?

Is your printer still in the box or have you not set it up yet? Set it up before you print something. Did you already set it up? Go to Step 3. You can set up the printer as follows:

1. Unbox the printer and remove all stickers and orange sticky tapes.
2. Load the paper tray with paper.
3. Connect the power cord to the back of the printer.
4. Select a language and a country on the printer display.
5. The printer will now start the initialization and will be ready for use after.

Tap the network icon. This is often located at the top right of the screen, but you can also find it in the settings. Next, tap the WiFi icon and then settings. Go to the Wireless Setup Wizard and select the WiFi network you want to connect with. Enter the password if necessary and your printer will be connected. Doesn't your printer have a screen or want to connect via WiFi Direct? You can read how to do that in the following article.

If you want to print from your smartphone, you don't have to download any drivers. You can get started right away. Download the HP Smart app in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to get started. Open the app once it's finished downloading. Make sure your phone is connected to the same WiFi network as your printer, otherwise the app can't find the printer.

Tab Set Up a New Printer at the top of the home screen. Select the right printer and the app will connect it. You can now scan, printer photos or documents, check the status of your cartridges or toner cartridges, order new cartridges or toner cartridges, and even print directly from social media platforms like Facebook.

You can print by tapping Print photos or Print documents in the home screen of the HP Smart app. Choose if you want to print from your device or from Dropbox or social media, for example. Select your photo and tap print. You can now adjust several options including the layout and paper size. Tap the print icon and you're all done.

With the HP Smart app, you can also easily scan files. Press the scan icon at the bottom left of the app to start the scan function. Place your document or photo on the scanner of your printer and press Scan in the app. You'll see a preview of the scan on your smartphone. You can edit it, save it right away, email it, or share it with others.
