Hi @2D0nkeydr0ps,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand you want to enable Print Anywhere on your HP ENVY 6420e All-in-One Printer (instead of using Private Printing). Follow these steps using the HP Smart app:

How to Enable Print Anywhere

  1. Open the HP Smart App on your Windows 11 PC or mobile device.
  2. Sign in with your HP account (required for HP+ features).
  3. Click your account icon (top right corner) or your initials.
  4. Select Manage HP Account.
  5. Under your Account Dashboard, go to Solutions > Print Anywhere.
  6. Under My Printers, make sure:
    • “Allow printing from anywhere” is enabled.
    • “Require Private Pickup” is disabled (this is what you're trying to turn off).


What Is Private Pickup?

  • Private Pickup is an optional feature that holds print jobs until you're near the printer.
  • Disabling it allows your print jobs to print immediately, which is the standard Print Anywhere behavior.

I hope this helps.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
