Q: I SELECT PRINTER NETWORK PRINTER BUT IPAD STAYS ON 3G MODE

I AM TRYING TO CONNECT MY IPAD TO MY PRINTER. I HAVE CHECKED THAT THE PRINTER SUPPORTS AIRPRINT (HP DESKJET ADVANTAGE 5525). I HAVE ALSO CHECKED THAT THE WIRELESS WIFI OPTION IS UP AND RUNNING.

MY IPAD IDENTIFIES THE HP NETWORK BUT ONCE THIS IS SELECTED, THE IPAD DOESN'T SEEM TO RECOGNISE IT AND GOES INTO 3G MODE

iPad 2, iOS 9.3.2

Hi there POPIHAD,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

If I understand correctly, there's an issue connecting your iPad to and printing from your AirPrint-enabled HP printer. In order to use AirPrint, the devices will have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

The article below will walk you through the process of connecting your iPad to your wireless network.
