Printing from android phone using officejet 4635

[Lb0456]

We are going on the road and won't have wifi. We use just our cell phones. How can I print from my Note 5 without wifi or using my phone as hotspot? Is it possible to hook up phone to printer using USB adapter? I tried printing all last summer and couldn't figure it out. Thanks

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Your printer offers an option named "Wireless Direct".  This turns the printer into its own wifi hotspot that devices can connect and print to.

Instructions can be found on page 87 of your User Guide:

Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router

HP wireless direct allows your Wi-Fi devices such as computers, smart phones, and tablets, to connect to your printer directly through Wi-Fi, using the process you currently use to connect your Wi-Fi device to new wireless networks and hotspots. With wireless direct, you can print directly to the printer wirelessly, without a wireless router, from your Wi-Fi enabled devices.

To connect wirelessly to the printer without a router

1. From the Home screen on the printer display, select Wireless Direct, and then press OK.

2 . In the Wireless Direct menu, select Wireless Direct, and then press OK.

3. Using the buttons to the right, select On without Security, and then press OK.

TIP:  If you would like to use HP wireless direct with greater security and if the computer or mobile

device supports WPA2 encryption, select the option that will enable security. With security enabled,

only users with the password can connect wirelessly to the printer. Without enabling security, anyone

with a wireless device within the wireless range of the printer can connect to the printer.

4.  Press the button next to Display Name to display the wireless direct name.

5.  If you have enabled security, press the button next to Display Password to display the wireless direct

password.

TIP:  You can also turn on HP wireless direct from the embedded web server (EWS). For more

information about using the EWS, see  To open the embedded Web server on page 89.

6.  After connecting to wireless direct, you need to install the printer software if you use a desktop

computer or laptop. If you use a mobile device, you need to install a compatible app on your mobile

device. You can start to use the printer over wireless direct if you have already installed the printer over a network.

For more information about printing wirelessly, see   Print with HP wireless direct on page 17.
