Connecting Printer to Mobile hotspot

[GregPau1]

Hi there, 

I have an HP Smart Tank Wireless 450 Series printer. I do not have wifi at my house and I cant seem to get my mobile phone hotspot and the printer to connect to each other. 

Ideally I would like to use my mobile hotspot on my computer and be able to print from either my phone or my computer. 

I have speant hours reading and trying different things without any luck. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

Hi @GregPau1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing a connectivity issue with your HP Smart Tank 450 printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

• A mobile hotspot connection is not recommended as it may or may not work. 
• Instead, you may try using Wi-Fi Direct option from the printer where the printer acts as a router and you will be able to print directly from your phone.
• While using Wi-Fi direct you will not be able to access the Internet so make sure you download the file and then try to print it.

Please refer to this document to setup a Wi-Fi Direct connection: HP printer setup (Wi-Fi Direct)

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
