How to Network Without Networking:
Most of the Airprint compatible printers already have built-in wireless network adapters, which you can use to connect to your Wi-Fi network. But the most surprising thing about this is that they are also able to create hotspot for your devices to connect to. If you are stuck in a network less zone, you can still print. Take the case of the HP Laser Jet Pro200 color printer. This HP printer is able to connect using a Wi-Fi hotspot. All you have to do is provide a DHCP address to your device and you can AirPrint away.
Connecting iPhone, iPad to Printer Hotspot.
Here are the steps to get printer access without an available network:
- Go to Home menu and click the app: Settings.
- Now, you have to select the option: Wi-Fi.
- You will see the list of printers under your network name. Select it.
- Now, tap on the join button. This option is join this network.
- Once connected, you will see the Wi-Fi icon in your network settings. This simply means that although your device has its own IP address, it cannot be connected to the internet from that connection.
- No need to panic as you only need printer access and not the network access. And, if you have LTE enabled device, you might be able to connect to the printer using faux-network connection and to the internet using your own mobile data connection.

Connect Your HP printer hotspot to Your MAC.
- Use the Dock or the Apple menu to launch system preferences.
- Now, select your network.
- Now, click the printer displayed under your Network name.
- You will notice a Wi-Fi icon struggling to display its connected symbol of solid black arcs. Don’t worry it’s normal. Even if you do not have internet access, you will still have access to Airprint to your printer from any application running locally on your MacOS device.
