Hi,

The P1102w model support printing wirelessly, printing from a USB OTG is not supported for your printer, the P2035 model is not supported as well.

Please see the following document as a reference, see the 'Does my HP printer support printing from USB OTG?' section:

But PrinterShare app can print via usb otg cable by this modles and very other modles of printers, how it works?! or you mean that only "HP Print Service Plugin" doesn't support this models, yes?

Hi @FarshidFree,

I'm not sure how PrinterShare and HP Print Service works from the coding aspect, but they do not work the same and provide different features

The HP Print Service do not support these models via USB OTG as the document states, that was my intention regarding your question..
