HP remote printing

HP remote printing lets you print from a Windows application to a network-connected device in a separate location. For example, you can use the HP remote printer driver to print from your laptop at a coffee shop to your HP all-in-one at home. You can also print to your device while working from home over a virtual private network (VPN). For more information, see Remote print documents.

Further, a friend or relative who does not have a network-connected device can download the remote printer driver to his computer and print to your HP all-in-one (after you have provided him with the name of your device). For more information, see Remote print documents.
