HP Print Service Plugin

What the HP Print Service Plugin does

The HP Print Service Plugin is a print service that sends documents, emails and pictures from an Android phone or tablet to HP printers. It sits in the system print menu, so it works with any app that offers printing, not just one app. The listing names OfficeJet, LaserJet, DesignJet, Photosmart, DeskJet and Envy models.

It suits people who print from a phone or tablet to an HP printer at home or in an office. The plugin covers the printer connection; the document still comes from the app you are using.

Finding an HP printer over Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct or USB

The plugin searches for HP printers on the same network as the device. It can also connect to a printer that is broadcasting its own Wi-Fi Direct network, which means the printer does not need to be on your existing network. For a printer connected by cable, a USB On-the-Go cable links it directly to the Android device.

Sending a print job from another app

To print, open the document, email or photo in a print-supported app and choose Print or Share to PSP from the menu. The listing notes that the menu button's position depends on the phone or tablet model, so the option may sit in a different place on different devices.

Help pages for supported printers

The listing links to an HP support document that covers how to use the plugin and lists the supported HP printers. It also links to a general HP page on mobile printing.
