HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter - N811a/N811d
Android 8.0 Oreo and older

I'm trying to get my Android phone to print to my HP Officejet Pro 8100.  Following the prompts on my phone I got all the way to where it says locate the ePrint icon the printer screen.  Push it and get the code to finish setup.  My printer doesn't have that panel or screen so I can't get my code to finish setup.  What can I do?

I think you want to use "ePrint" which means you email a document to your printer.   The attachments get printed.

You will need an HP Smart account to do this.   Make sure printer is on and not sleeping.

Bring up HP Smart, log in and click the "Printer Settings"

Your email should be shown.  Usually "username@hpeprint.com" or something like that.

If not present then (assuming printer online) click the "advanced settings" and configure web services

Click enable and do what it wants

Something like explained here

If you are trying to print directly to the printer that is called "Wi-FI direct printing"

II do not think that printer supports "direct"

 

if you need to do the Wi-Fi setup again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5DrV1-DYnk

 

If this print using email is not want you want let me know.
