About this app

The HP Print Service Plugin is the only print driver that you'll need to easily print documents, emails and pictures from print-supported applications to a variety of HP Printers, including HP OfficeJet, HP LaserJet, HP DesignJet, HP Photosmart, HP DeskJet and HP Envy.

You can discover and print to HP printers that are:
• Connected to the same network as your mobile device
• Broadcasting a Wi-Fi Direct network
• Connected to the mobile device via a USB On-the-Go cable

Just select Print or Share to PSP when you need to print. Just tap the menu button to reveal the print option. Location of menu button may vary depending on your model of Android™ device.

The HP Print Service Plugin simplifies printing on your Android™ Lollipop™ (v5.0) and newer devices. If you use Android 6 (Marshmallow) or earlier, you might need to enable the HP Print Service Plugin in your device's settings

Ratings and reviews

Very simple and straightforward to use, but it's easy to accidentally print multiple copies. Also, it's difficult/unclear how to edit the printer list. And not all printers appear on the list (for instance, one printer shows up as its device-name rather than its host/printer queue name as specified by the printer itself). The biggest drawback to this app is that it doesn't show up in all lists of apps you can use to share something. Fix that, and my rating becomes 5 ⭐! 2024-04-13: Still waiting

Works, sporadically; but nowhere near well enough. Takes too long to connect to printers. Gives too many "something's wrong" notifications, and too quickly; despite which, printing often succeeds, but leaves notifications in place, uncleared. No evident way to set defaults for output tray or two-sided printing. This erratic software needs _much_ more improvement. It has got very _slightly_ better over the years, but far too slowly, and has remained grossly unsatisfactory for far too long. Shame.

Overall, I love it. There's just a couple things that I think could use improvement. 1: The speed throughout the app. The signing on is slow. Along with all the selections to pick what you're wanting to do. 2: I'm supposed to be able to print anywhere anytime and I can't. If I need to print anything for my wife at home while I'm running errands I can't unless I'm on the same wifi connection. I love using it while I'm in my home office. The mobile scan and fax have been absolutely life savers.
