IPad fail to print off a hp air printer

Please follow the link. HP Printers How to Print from iPhone iPad or iPod Touch HP Customer Support

Good morning to you
When this happens to my mini pad and Canon printer. It is usually something that needs to be done for the printer. So go to settings on the printer and look for some new instructions there.
there may be new new software lying somewhere on the printer.
I don't know about HP printers but on my Canon I get instructions to follow.
If this isn't the problem, try restarting the printer.

has the ipad got a driver for the printer

It would be nice to know the HP printer model number or a least the interface available. Is your printer attached to another computer that is on your wifi network. That computer can share the printer and then the ipad can print to it via the wifi network.

If your wireless printer is an HP, HP has an app called "HP ePrint" on the iTunes App store. I have used it with good success.

You can download hp eprint from appstore.Works with variety of printers.

If you have a Mac you can do it this way


Make sure you have the Pages app installed on your iPad.
Connect the iPad to your computer using the appropriate USB cable.
Open iTunes, then locate your iPad in the source list and select the Apps tab. Scroll down to access the File Sharing Pane.
The File Sharing Pane is a centralized location where you can manage the transfer of documents to and from your iPad. To print, transfer the desired document from the iPad to the Mac's hard drive. Then simply open and print using a device connected to that Mac or a device on the Mac's network.


Alternatively, e-mail yourself any documents you want to print, then open them on a Mac with printer access and print from there.


Printing using apps

Shop around. Each printing app works a little differently. When PCMag.com originally reported on iPad printing apps in April 2010, it found few that worked particularly well -- and several that didn't work at all. No doubt this trend has continued as developers continue to bring out new apps.
PrintCentral is an app that can be used with iPad, iPhone and iTouch. Its developers tout it as a one-stop-shop for mobile printing needs. MacWorld has awarded it 4 out of 5 mice and EuroSmartz.com has named it its iPad App of the Week. It can print directly to most wireless printers.
Whether you opt for PrintCentral or another printing app, make sure to review any instructions carefully to get the best performance.

Print function only works with e-print printers,such as HP.

you can only print from an ipad using the airprint app if you have one of these printers read more about it here http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html

You can unofficially use air print to print from your ipad to your printer. The only catch is the ipad must be on the same network as the printer is. use at your own risk
IF you are using a pc to access the printer there is a free application to allow you to do that. Found here:

1. Make sure you have itunes 10.1 or higher
2. Make sure the printer is setup as a shared printer on your local PC
3. Printer and iOS device should share the same Wifi connection
4. Make sure you have full administrator privileges to enable / disable services on your PC
5. Download AirPrint installer (Found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yadd9be20rkdpe5)
6. Follow the on screen instructions for installing. And when finished Windows Firewall will prompt you allow or deny AirPrint features to be shared over networks. Click on Allow access button.
7. I have had success with this with Canon printers but offically ony a hand ful of HP printers work with this. Still, worth a shot.

Mac options Air Print Activator found here: http://netputing.com/airprintactivator/ The only catch is it's Mac OSX 10.6.5 and above. (Snow Leopard) This is a free version.
Hope this helps
