The HP LaserJet M1005 does not have built-in wireless or Bluetooth capabilities for direct mobile connection. To print from a mobile device to the HP LaserJet M1005, you typically need to connect the printer to a computer and then share the printer over the network, or use a USB OTG (On-The-Go) cable with a special app on Android devices.
Key methods to connect and print from mobile to HP LaserJet M1005 include:
– **Using USB OTG cable and M1005 OTG Printer app on Android:**
Android phones can connect via a USB OTG cable directly to the printer, using apps like the “M1005 OTG Printer” app from Barnly Dev. This app allows printing directly from the mobile device by recognizing the printer and formatting print jobs accordingly[4].
– **Sharing the printer from a PC over Wi-Fi:**
Since the M1005 is USB-connected and not wireless, you can connect it to a laptop or desktop and share it on the local network. Mobile devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network can then print via the shared printer. Some videos explain setups where the printer is connected to a PC, which then acts as a print server, enabling wireless printing from smartphones[2][3].
– **Using Print Service Plugins or Manufacturer apps:**
HP’s mobile printing software or third-party plugins may assist with printing but still require the printer to be connected to a PC or use an OTG cable since the M1005 itself lacks Wi-Fi.
In summary, direct wireless or Bluetooth printing from mobile to HP LaserJet M1005 is not supported. Mobile printing requires either a USB OTG connection with a compatible app (Android) or sharing via a computer with the printer connected physically[1][2][3][4].
