I use mobile hotspot for internet access & recently aquired a 'wireless HP 15 wireless printer I want to use from all devices, a couple different windows 10 + the iphone itself.. I seem to be at a dead end - and simply dont know if it can be done and if so how & what are constraints. Any Help / guidance appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hello davidfromwewa,
It would probably be correct to assume that you are using a personal hotspot under iOS 12 on the iPhone 5s.
Only a certain number of devices can access the Internet via a hotspot, depending on carrier limitations, et cetera. It is per se not necessary to be connected to the Internet in order to print to an HP LaserJet Pro M15w.
The LaserJet Pro M15w is capable of using Wi-Fi Direct (https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-laserjet-pro-m14-m17-printer-series/16647043/document/c04577030), meaning that a device could print directly to a printer, without going over a Wi-Fi router. Could this possibly be an alternative in your case?
Using a special technique, it may even be possible to use AirPrint in connection with a Wi-Fi Direct printer (click on "How do I use AirPrint if a Wi-Fi network is not available?" in the following article for details: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-laserjet-pro-m14-m17-printer-series/16647043/document/c02623193).

The first assumption is correct; 12.4.6..
I have printed pdf files directly from the iphone... however some time to thoroughly consider & process the suggestions and resources is needful in my case, especially as it is new ground to me: VERY HELPFUL : I will dilligently apply myself to address & 'mull over' the information you have provided AND respond appropriately as it unfolds,
Thank uou Jan Warringer !
First of all, would this be an HP LaserJet Pro M15w, or possibly another printer?

Also, please specify the exact mobile hotspot make/model/carrier.
Oops- former replies not shown- ... Yes, thank you, it is HP M15w Laserjet Pro. The mobile hotspot is through an Apple 5s on Verizon's network - LTE signal & sometime 3G here.
mobile hotspot connection with wireless router?
