Can you print with no WiFi - hotspot off phone

[Millatron123]

I have a HP ENVY 6032 printer. Can I use it without WiFi and use my phone as a hot spot to

print?  If not how can I print in remote locations with just my phone

Hi @Millatron123,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

In general, if your HP ENVY 6032 printer does not have a built-in mobile printing option (e.g., Wi-Fi Direct or Bluetooth printing), you may not be able to print directly from your phone using it as a hotspot. The printer would typically need to connect to a Wi-Fi network to communicate with your phone or any other device.

If you find yourself in a remote location without access to a Wi-Fi network, there are a few alternative options you can explore to print from your phone:

• Mobile Printing Apps: Many printer manufacturers, including HP, offer mobile printing apps that allow you to send print jobs directly to the printer using your phone's internet connection. Check if there's an HP mobile printing app compatible with your printer model.
• Portable Printers: Some portable printers are designed to work with mobile devices and can connect directly via USB or Bluetooth. These printers are usually smaller and more convenient for on-the-go printing.
• Cloud Printing Services: If your printer is cloud-enabled, you can use cloud printing services like Google Cloud Print, HP ePrint, or other manufacturer-specific services. These services allow you to send print jobs remotely via the internet to your printer, as long as it is connected to the internet itself.
• Print Shops or Business Centers: In remote locations, you might find print shops or business centers that offer printing services. You can transfer your print files to them via email or USB drive and have them printed on-site.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
