Wi-Fi Direct and AirPrint

I travel and work in places without a central Wi-Fi and am looking for a printing soultion from my iPad Pro. I’m looking at the HP Officejet 200 mobile printer that has W-Fi direct. Will I be able to print to this using the Wi-Fi Direct and AirPrint?


iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hi,


The normal way of using AirPrint is via a network. It would mean an iPad/iPhone/Mac and an AirPrint-enabled printer connected to the same Wi-Fi router.


The HP OfficeJet 200 Mobile Printer Series is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support.


Use AirPrint to print from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


In order to achieve this, could a travel router possibly be of interest to you? The TP-Link models TL-WR802N and TL-WR902AC are merely two examples (without built-in mobile Internet). The idea is to use a travel router to create a small local Wi-Fi network. An appropriate portable 4G or 5G mobile broadband router could also be used.


A direct Wi-Fi solution may require a special app from the printer manufacturer, or may make things more complicated when printing from web pages.
