I have HP officeJet pro 6960 printer , and my phone is Redmi Note 4 (android version NRD90M 7.0) .

 

I downloaded the HP SMART mobile application (+ HP Print Service Plugin ) to my phone , and tried to print a doc / docx file via this application  (into "print documents " screen) , but I saw that the application wrote  on those files : " File type not supported"

 

I can print PDF file via this application.

 

Why I can't print doc/ docx via HP SMART application ?

Welcome to HP Support Community


I would like to help

 

This is by design. The HP Smart App supports only PDF for documents


Thank you

Why does the app not support word documents? 

 

I am having similar problems and am forced to do a really time consuming,  cumbersome work around to print my Word documents. 

 

I am thinking that I should have purchased an Epsom printer instead of the HP printer that I did buy. 

 

I really do not have the time to mess around every time I try and print a word document.

For Android OS the only option is the HP Smart App. If you are printing from a PC then you can use the full feature software or even Windows built in drivers which will allow you to print other word formats other than PDF
