Breaking News: HP Sprocket is compatible with a Windows Phone

As a loyal HP employee, I of course use the amazing HP Elite X3 as my private and business phone. I love this device but few weeks ago I got totally shocked. HP introduced the new HP Sprocket Printer and offers Apps only for iOS and Andriod. Officially they do not mention compatibility with Windows. However, together with a Product Manager at HP we found an easy and comfortable way to print from a Windows Phone.

You just need to follow this simple steps:

  1. Switch on the HP Sprocket

2. Enable your Bluetooth connection on the Smartphone and for the first time connect to the HP Sprocket

6. Data transfer to the printer starts automatically, Print starts a few seconds later

After a short time period the HP Sprocket will automatically disconnect the Bluetooth link. If you want to print the next picture you can immediately start with Step 3 and send the picture straight via Bluetooth to the device. It will automatically re-activate the connection.

We found this solution really easy. Please share within your Windows Community.
