Hopefully your Photosmart is one of the models listed in this article:

If so, the article walks you through the use and installation.

1. If it is an AirPrint printer

2. Run the CD provided and setup as network printer; this will setup your printer to the same network as your iPad

3. Start printing from your iPad without wire
