Hi all,
Today I want to share the experience on troubleshoot HP Printer connection with iphone Hotspot since HP do not want to help.

If the HP printer unable connected to your iphone hotspot network, (new solution discovered on 20/3/2025)
- restart the HP printer
- install ookla speedtest on your iphone and run it
- you will notice the wifi blue light on HP printer from blinking, instantly become stagnant!
- once the blue light become stagnant means the HP printer is ONLINE and it is ready to print.
- you can use this solution if the printer can't print although it is ONLINE.

If still not helping, try this step by step: -
- Restart the iphone
If still not helping,
- Turn ON the Maximize Compatibility mode on iphone Hotspot
If still not helping,
- Turn Off the Maximize Compatibility
The Printer should be able seen online in your PC.

You can always make a shortcut for the printer status using this trick: -
- Create a shortcut on your desktop
- type the shortcut name in the properties: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /o /n "your printer name", example: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /o /n "HP415LEE (HP Ink Tank Wireless 410 Series)"
- You should be able to monitor the printer status buy opening the shortcut
Note: Please see the attachment of the program. If the status does not showing (Offline), means it is online.

Thank you.

New Method
Use your android smart phone to connect to the hotspot, then run a speedtest by ookla app. The HP printer should be instantly connected to the network, ONLINE.
Weird, but it works.

Thanks.
