Emailing a print job

[Sullygal]

I want to be able to email print jobs to my printer when I’m away from home. I can’t find information about setting this up.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @Sullygal,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To email print jobs to your printer when you're away from home, you'll typically need a printer that supports email printing and has an assigned email address. Here's a general guide on how to set this up:

Find Printer's Email Address: Check the documentation or settings of your printer to find its assigned email address. This email address is usually provided by the printer HP or can be set up through the printer's control panel or web interface.

Set Up Email Printing: Log in to your email account (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) on your computer or mobile device. Compose a new email message.

Attach Document: Attach the document or file that you want to print to the email message. Most common file types such as PDF, Word, Excel, and image files are supported.

Enter Printer's Email Address: In the "To" field of the email message, enter the email address assigned to your printer. This is the address where you'll send print jobs.

Send Email: Once you've attached the document and entered the printer's email address, send the email as you would send any other email message.

Check Printer: Your printer should receive the email print job shortly after you send it. The printer will then process the print job and print the document.

Configure Printer Settings: Some printers may allow you to customize print settings via email commands. Refer to your printer's documentation for information on how to adjust settings such as color, paper size, and duplex printing using email commands.

Security Considerations: Ensure that your printer's email address is kept secure to prevent unauthorized access to your printer. Avoid sharing the printer's email address publicly or with individuals you don't trust.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
