Q: connect iPad Air to . Theprinter. Am I missing something?

Can you connect iPad Air to HP printer via Bluetooth. I've tried and can't. The printer sees iPad but iPad can't see printer. Is this connection possible or am I asking for too much.

iPad Air Wi-Fi

    The bluetooth wasn't meant for that. It's largely for keyboards and headphones and there are a couple of data transfer apps out there.

     

    If hte printer is air print enabled the ipad should see it and print to it. If not, you can look to see if HP has any apps or workarounds for that model. If that doesn't work, as long as the printer is a wifi printer there are third party apps you can use, such as print n share, printopia or print central (just to name three).
