Recently the phone can no longer send to printer. The message on the Android 11 is: printer blocked, unknown certificate. I tried clearing the phone's HP app printer cash but not successful in getting it to work. Phone shows printer online and tries to print before getting printer blocked, unknown certificate message. I logged into the HP app... It suggested updating certificate, which I did, but still it does not work after trying again.

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

Install the HP Print Service Plugin

  1. Confirm your Android device is connected to the same network as your printer, or that Wi-Fi Direct on your printer and Android device is enabled.

  2. On your Android device, install or update the HP Print Service Plugin (in English).

  3. Once the installation or update is complete, choose your Android device to turn on the plugin:

    • Android 7 (Nougat) and later devices: The HP Print Service Plugin turns on automatically after installation. Continue with these steps.

  4. Turn off any other print service plugins, if necessary.

That worked opening the pdf through the HP Smart. It still doesn't work to just open the pdf and hit print but if I just have to open it through the HP smart app to get it to work then that is good. Thank you!
