Hotspotting HP Envy 5010

[Lisa-V]

Has anyone managed to connect their HP Envy to a mobile hotspot through an Apple Iphone 10?  If so, how do I do this?  I don't have a wireless network at home.

@Lisa-V, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Using Hotspot is not recommended as the connectivity between the phone and the printer will not be stable.

Use WiFi Direct to print directly from your iPhone.

1. Open the item you want to print if it is web-based content such as a web page, cloud-stored document, or an email. Using Wi-Fi Direct temporarily disconnects your device from the internet.

2. Turn on the printer and make sure ink cartridges are installed and paper is loaded in the tray.

3. Get the Wi-Fi Direct printer name (Example: DIRECT-72-HP Officejet Pro 6970) and password by printing a network configuration report.

   • Touch the Wi-Fi Direct icon  or open the Wi-Fi Direct settings menu to get the name and password.

   • Go to the Reports menu, and then select Network Summary or Network config. to print a network summary page. The name and password are under the Wi-Fi Direct section.

4. On the Apple device, open Settings, tap Wi-Fi, select your Wi-Fi Direct printer name from the list of available networks, and then enter the password.

5. Open the item you want to print, and then tap Print from the app or action menu.

6. Select your printer, and then tap Print.

7. Reconnect to your local Wi-Fi network after the print job completes.

Let me know how this goes.
