I also have an iPhone and an iPad.

I have not bought the printer, so would only buy one which would work.

I have an M2100 5G device and I do se it has a Wifi-Network name, which I ASSUME is the same each time I load it.

Will any printer which connects to a Wifi-network connect to my MacBook?

Thanks

Ok, so Wifi-Direct may do what I want.

I mentioned iPhone and iPad only as possible options. I much using my Mac.

It seems that all modern HP printers support Wifi-Direct. So, it seems I can print whether my Verizon hotspot is ON or OFF.

Thanks. I will pursue this path...

Connecting a Mac to a printer, via a Verizon Hotspot?
I am on the road and rely on my 4G/5G hotspot for Internet. But, I may need a printer.
Is there a way to use the Hotspot to enable printer sharing? Or, can I use Bluetooth?
I have MacOS Catalina.
Thanks

Connecting a Mac to a printer, via a Verizon Hotspot?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.

Apple Software

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
