Hi @Kay225,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

To wirelessly print from your Samsung Galaxy Tab S5 to an HP OfficeJet 5740 printer, you can use several methods. Here's a step-by-step guide using the most common methods.

Method 1: Wi-Fi Direct Printing

Ensure Printer Connectivity:

• Make sure your HP OfficeJet 5740 printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Galaxy Tab S5. This is crucial for wireless printing.

Enable Wi-Fi Direct on the Printer:

• On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Wi-Fi Direct settings and enable it. This allows your tablet to discover the printer.

Enable Wi-Fi on Your Tablet:

• Swipe down from the top of your tablet's screen to access the quick settings panel.
• Toggle on Wi-Fi if it's not already enabled and connect your tablet to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer.

Discover the Printer:

• On your Galaxy Tab S5, go to 'Settings' > 'Connections' > 'Wi-Fi.'
• Look for the Wi-Fi Direct-enabled printer in the list of available networks. It will usually have a name like 'DIRECT-xx-HP OfficeJet 5740' or something similar.
• Tap on the printer's name to connect.

Print from Your Tablet:

• Open the document or image you want to print on your Galaxy Tab S5.
• Tap the "Share" or "Print" option depending on the app you are using.
• Select the HP OfficeJet 5740 printer from the list of available printers.
• Adjust any print settings as needed.
• Tap 'Print.'

Method 2: HP Print Service Plugin

Install HP Print Service Plugin:

• On your Samsung Galaxy Tab S5, go to the Google Play Store.
• Search for "HP Print Service Plugin" and install it.

Enable the Plugin:

• Go to 'Settings' > 'Connections' > 'More connection settings.'
• Tap on 'Printing.'
• Toggle on 'HP Print Service Plugin.'

Print from Your Tablet:

• Open the document or image you want to print.
• Tap the "Share" or "Print" option depending on the app you are using.
• Select the HP OfficeJet 5740 printer from the list of available printers.
• Adjust any print settings as needed.
• Tap 'Print.'

Using either of these methods, you should be able to wirelessly print from your Samsung Galaxy Tab S5 to your HP OfficeJet 5740 printer. Make sure your printer and tablet are on the same network and that the printer is powered on and ready to receive print jobs.

I hope this helps.
