Hi @AvinashKarnik,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding connecting an HP DeskJet 2331 to a router via USB!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Check Router Support:

  • Verify whether your router supports USB printer sharing. Consult the router's manual or manufacturer's website for this feature.
  • If supported, follow the router's instructions for enabling printer sharing.

Alternative Solutions:

  • Sharing through a PC:
    • Connect the printer to a computer with USB. Share it on the network through printer settings.
  • Use Wireless Printers:
    • Consider using a printer with built-in Wi-Fi to print directly from your Android device.

Using Mopria Print Service:

  • Install the Mopria Print Service app on your Android device if it supports network printers.
  • Follow standard setup instructions for the Mopria service to connect compatible printers.

I hope this helps.
