I could not open the link. I did read about the USB OTG cable, but was unsure if that was something different than just a normal USB cable

Hi @LisaC24,

Thank you for your reply, I'll be more than glad to help you.

 

I understand that you wanted to know if the USB OTG cable is different than normal USB cable.

 

In the normal USB cable, you can connect the printer to the computer but in the USB OTG cable, you can connect the printer to the phone for printing.

 

You may check if you can open this link: http://hp.care/2s3shg3
