How to Connect HP Bluetooth Printer? (Full Guide)

HP Printers offer versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth, for an effortless wireless printing experience. As an HP printer user, I have firsthand experience with its features and functionality. Recently, I helped my cousin, who is a college student, connect her HP printer to a Bluetooth-enabled device.
