Hi @Mairead91,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand you are trying to connect your HP DeskJet 2721e All-in-One Printer to a mobile hotspot, follow these steps:
 

Step 1: Set up the Mobile Hotspot

Ensure that your mobile hotspot is active and that you have the network name (SSID) and password ready.

Step 2: Prepare the Printer for Wireless Setup

1. Turn on the printer and make sure it's in Wi-Fi setup mode:
   • If this is the first time setting up the printer, it should automatically be in Wi-Fi setup mode (the Wi-Fi light should blink).
   • If the Wi-Fi light is not blinking, press and hold the Wireless button (or the Wi-Fi button and the Cancel button together) for 3 seconds until the light starts blinking.

Step 3: Use HP Smart App to Connect to the Hotspot

1. Download the HP Smart app on your phone or computer (available on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS).
2. Open the app and sign in or create an account if needed.
3. Add your printer by tapping the "+" icon and follow the instructions.
   • The app will search for printers in Wi-Fi setup mode.
4. Once the printer is detected, select your printer and choose your mobile hotspot from the list of available networks.
5. Enter the hotspot password to connect the printer to the hotspot network.

Step 4: Test the Connection

After the printer is connected, try printing a test page from your phone or computer to verify that the printer is connected properly to the hotspot.
