Connect printer to mobile hotspot

[JoeMT5]

I have the same problem and don't have internet except for my hotspot. When I called support they had me turn off the mobile mobile data and it printed with HP HP Direct but that also means I cannot print while being on on internet with my mobile data off. Seems the best answer would be to print while using my Hotspot but but I try that there is no print driver. What to do?

@JoeMT5,

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! I see from your post you are having concern with connecting the printer to mobile hotspot. Don't worry I'll be glad to assist you.

I understand you are trying to connect the printer without a router. In this scenario, you can use your mobile phone as hotspot but when you do this, your mobile will act as a router.

In this scenario, you will no longer be able to print, however, you can connect another device to the same network and then you can try to print from that device.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know how it goes for further assistance.

Your suggested solution won't work in my scenario because I don't have a secondary device to hook up and print with it. That leads me back to the situation in which does work By using the HP Direct but I have to turn off the "Mobile Data" in in settings. Is there any way to leave the mobile data on and still print with HP Direct?

There is no androide app to use please?

I have the HP print service plugin installed and I also have tried using HP smart.
