I was able to print from my iPad to my wireless HP printer and now I can't. Any suggestions on what to do to get it back? Will resetting network settings help?

I tried everything and finally it printed when I turned off the "ask to join networks" button in the Wifi settings. Not sure if this will be the permanent solution, but I think it will after trying everything else.

Are you getting any error messages - or is it just saying No Printers Found - if the latter this has happened to me - I have 2 networks on my airport express (my network and one for guest access0 - sometimes my iPad switches to the guest network which does not have wireless printer on it ( i dont know why it does this) - if i switch the iPad back to my network the printer shows up again


In fact see the No Printers Found message is a pretty good indication that the iPad has switched to the guest network
