Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

HP Smart does not support printing Word or Excel formatted documents.

 

HP Smart (Windows / MacOS / Mobile) supports printing PDF format.

 

Should the option be available to you,

Export and Save your document in PDF format.

Open the PDF file in your device and print using HP Smart or another PDF capable app or software.
