Best apps for Android and iOS phones

Today’s smartphones have the capabilities of most computers. With printers now available with WiFi hardware, you can use an app on your smartphone to print. Third party apps sometimes fail to identify printers, so to be safe, consider getting the official app used by your printer’s manufacturer.

HP All-In-One printer remote

When you run the HP AIO app, two buttons will appear on the main window. The first one allows you to find your printers. Once the app finds the printer, you can then connect your mobile device to it. The second button will then take you to the main screen.

The HP app lets you crop pictures before printing, allows you to print PDFs, Facebook photos, and document files. You can also scan files using your smartphone camera, and then send them to your inbox, print files from your Dropbox and Google accounts, and disable any features you don’t want.
