Using FritzBox USB for P1102 to print over the air (Android print)

[binderth]

I still own a functioning HP LaserJet P1102, which is USB-only and neither has WiFi or LAN connection. I connected the LaserJet with my FritzBox via USB and I am able to use Windows10 to print with it.

Is there a way to use an Android device to print wirelessly also?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• Are you getting any error messages or codes while connecting to the wired network?
• When was the last time it worked fine?

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: HP printer setup (Android)
 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi,

Your printer is an Host-Based printer, which is more limited and managed by a PC driver.

According to FritzBox documentation connecting an Host-Based printer to the USB print server is not supported:

Spoiler

Host-based printers that work according to the GDI system, for instance, and require bidirectional com-munication for status messages, can only be used via the USB remote connection. These printers usually can be used only with an operating system for which the printer manufacturer has provided driver soft-ware. Such printers connected to the FRITZ!Box are not supported as network printers.

I suggest checking with your router service provider if the print server even support any such, because the issue is likely there.
