Unable to print from iPad 2 using AirPrint to my HP Photosmart 6510 printer on my home network connected to a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router. I can print to this printer wireless from my Toshiba laptop.
HP lists this model HP Photosmart 6510 e-AiO B211a as the airprinter.
How is it connected? USB cable? Needs to be by WiFi with airprint.

My HP Photosmart 6510 is connected to the D-Link DIR-655 wireless router's USB port and Shareport is activated. My Ipad and Iphone also connect to the internet via WiFi through this router.
The HP 6510 Network Configuration Report shows that 802.11 wireless is active and connected to this network, that Bonjour status is enabled. I can print via wireless from my Toshiba laptop through this connection.
I have unplugged the printer from the USB port of the DIR-655 and can still print via wireless from my Laptop, but my Apple products still display "no airprint printer found" when I try to print an email. I tried updating the printer firmware and it tells me it is current. My phone is using IOS 6.1.3.
