What if the printer does not print?
If you are unable to print to the printer with the HP Sprocket app, use these recommendations to help troubleshoot
printing issues.

you want the printer to turn o.

when the printer is turned on and the Charging Indicator light is solid and green when the printer is fully charged.
• Conrm Bluetooth is turned on and paired with your printer. On your mobile device, make sure Bluetooth is turned

Smartsheet. Make sure the Smartsheet® is on the bottom of the stack with the bar-code facing down and the photo
paper with the print side facing up.
• Resolve any error messages that display on the HP Sprocket app. For example, if an “Out of Paper” message displays,
load more photo paper into the input tray.
