How To Print From Samsung Tablet To Hp Printer

Link a WI-FI Printer

Your Tab 2 will immediately scan for wireless printers that are available through a WI-FI connection. Keep in mind that you may need to make it possible for a WI-FI connection on the printer also. In this example, I'll use my Hewlett-Packard (HP) Officejet Pro X576dw printer, which I'll describe from here on out as the Officejet Pro. The Officejet Pro needs the user to make it possible for HP Wireless Direct functionality on the printer prior to any gadget can see the printer.

To Print Wirelessly from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

You can print from your Galaxy Tab to a printer that is either WI-FI or Bluetooth-enabled.

You can look for WI-FI connections by tapping on the Settings icon in any house screen and after that tapping WI-FI in the menu on the left side of the Settings screen (that is, if the WI-FI alternative isn't chosen by default).

Tap the wireless printer in the list to link to it. In this example, I'll tap HP-Print-F6-Officejet Pro X576dw in the list. If the printer requires a password for you to use it, then you'll see "Guaranteed" (without the quote marks) below the printer name in the list as you saw in Figure 1. If the printer does not require a password, then you'll see "Open" underneath the printer name.

Since this printer requires a password, the password window appears on the screen. You might have to get the password from the printer itself when you allow the printer's Wi-Fi connection. Type the password, then tap the Link button in the window. After the Tab 2 connects to your printer, you will see "Linked" below the printer name in the WI-FI connections list.

If the Tab 2 doesn't recognize your wireless printer, you might need to bring your Tab 2 closer to the printer. You can scan for the printer once again by tapping Scan in the Settings menu bar that appears at the top of the screen (just listed below the Status Bar). When the cordless printer appears in the WI-FI list, connect to the printer by tapping the printer name. How To Print From Samsung Tablet To Hp Printer

Link a Bluetooth Printer

If you have a Bluetooth printer, open the Settings window as you provided for a Wi-Fi printer and after that tap Bluetooth in the menu on the left side of the screen. A slider bar appears to the right of the Bluetooth entry in the menu; turn on Bluetooth functionality by moving the O button to the right.

After you turn on Bluetooth, you'll see the name of your device in the My Device section on the best side of the screen. The Tab 2 will also scan for all readily available Bluetooth gadgets within series of the Tab 2 and will show the names of those devices in the Available Gadgets section.

The last step in connecting your printer is to pair the Bluetooth printer with your Tab 2. Tap the printer name to start the pairing procedure. The Bluetooth Pairing Demand window appears. You will have to consult your printer documentation and/or the printer producer's website to discover the PIN.

After you type the PIN, tap the OK button in the window. The paired Bluetooth printer appears in the Paired Devices area. Tap the Settings icon (it appears like a wheel cog) to the right of the printer name to change the printer name and unpaired, or disconnect, the printer from the Tab 2.

Download a Print App

Samsung boasts that you can print from your Galaxy Tab 2 to any compatible printer. Regrettably, what Samsung does not tell you is that you can only print to Samsung's printers. You'll find this out when you try to print from an app for the first time and see a message that "you can just print to a Samsung printer." Luckily, there are apps readily available from the Google Play Store so you can print to other printers.

For instance, if you have a Hewlett-Packard printer as I'm using in this example, you can download the HP ePrint app. You can likewise look for your printer manufacturer in the Google Play Shop to see if a printing app is offered. There are likewise apps offered from the Play Shop for printing to a wide range of gadgets such as Printer Share Mobile Print, which is totally free.

If you don't discover a printing app in the Google Play Store that works for you (or works at all), another alternative is to utilize Google's Cloud Print service. This service connects your printers to the web so any web-enabled gadget, including the Tab 2, can access a printer linked to Cloud Print. Since this writing, Google Cloud Print is still in beta test status so understand that the service's efficiency might not match your expectations.

You can access the Google Cloud Print site in the Web app at http://www.google.com/cloudprint. After you open the website, you're invited to visit utilizing your Gmail account. After you log in, you can add a printer that's linked to a laptop or PC, or you can include a Cloud Ready printer that links straight to the web.

After you have established your printing app (or Google Cloud Print), you can print from any app that allows you to print files. In this article, I'll show how to use the HP ePrint app to print pictures and website pages.

Utilizing the HP ePrint App

First, a caution: The HP ePrint app only prints to cordless HP printers and not HP printers linked through Bluetooth. If you have a Bluetooth printer that isn't from Samsung, then you might wish to utilize the previously mentioned Printer Share Mobile Print app or Google Cloud Print. If you have an HP wireless printer, however, you can use the ePrint app to print files on your Tab 2 or web site pages quickly.

After you install the ePrint app, you can open it from the main house screen by tapping on the ePrint icon. The HP ePrint app screen appears in vertical orientation only.

You can print any file by tapping File in the menu then opening the file you want to print from the menu on the screen. If you choose to print images or a website page instead, you can do so by tapping Photos or The Web in the menu, respectively.

After you tap Pictures in the menu, the list of picture folders appears in the Photos screen. Tap the folder name which contains the picture(s) you want to print. How To Print From Samsung Tablet To Hp Printer

Each image appears in thumbnail size so you can see all the pictures easily. Select several photos to print by tapping on the image. The chosen image has a blue tint and a blue check mark in the lower-left corner of the picture. When you're ready to print the image(s), tap Print in the upper-right corner of the menu. The first image you picked appears in the Sneak peek screen so you can see what the photo will appear like prior to you print it. Print the picture to the printer by tapping Print that appears in the package near the bottom of the screen (just above the Alert Bar).

Print a site page by tapping The Web in the HP ePrint screen menu. On the Web screen, type a web address into the package and then tap the Go key on the keyboard.
