WiFi printer with mobile WiFi

Product: HP ENVY 5032 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer

I have bought my daughter this printer who is at university I have one at home easy to set up and print. 

 

The problem is I can’t connect it to the WiFi in her uni halls. I have suggested she contacts IT support to see if this can be done securely. 

 

I did think about getting a pay as you go wifi mobile data device. Would this work if I contacted her Laptop, IPad, IPhone and printer to the same device when printing is required? 

 

Any suggestion please. Thanks.

A warm welcome to HP Support Community!

University WiFi will have several IT restrictions and WiFi hotspots wont offer a stable connection. I would recommend using WiFi direct. WiFi direct will allow us to easily connect printer to other devices without requiring a wireless access point. You may use the steps available in this document to setup WiFi direct printing.

 

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution and Kudos buttons, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Have a great day!
