Hello All
i have my ipad and a HP deskjet 6940 that is connected to my windows computer.
when i search for printers on my ipad it does not find any.
Any idea's i have shared the printer and tried some other software.
am i missing something ??
Cheers
The printer needs to be connected to your wireless (wi-fi) network - the same wi-fi network as your iPad, and you need HP's wireless printing app available via the iTunes app store or another wireless printing app.
Tey downloading the official hp app from app store.
Hi there
thank you for your replies.
So this printer is not wireless but does have ethernet. woudl that work as i read that the HP App only works for wireless printers.
is my printer just to old?
I have an older HP non-wi-fi printer connected to my Apple Airport Express wireless router which includes a USB port. This makes the printer available with my wireless network which I've used for printing wirelessly with my former Apple PowerBook and now with my MacBook Pro for years. I'm now able to print from my iPhone and iPad as well.
You need to have the printer connected to a wireless router for your wi-fi network, or purchase a printer that is wi-fi capable and if you do that you might as well purchase an AirPrint compatible printer which doesn't require a wi-fi printing app purchased from the app store.
