Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an iPad 2 and HP printer. Each time I want to print I have to go into iPad settings to change the wifi network from Talk Talk to my printer and then back again to use other apps. This works but is tedious. Can this be avoided?

What model HP printer are you using, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356 The printer must be connected to your wi-fi network in order for it to print via Airprint. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3500
Hi,
Which Talk Talk router you are using?
AirPrint relies on IP multicasting which require your router to support this kind of protocols (Bonjour, mDNS, Multicasting, IGMP, etc.)..
As the printer do work using the direct ad hoc connection it clearly support AirPrint and it's the router which breaks the connection.
From my experience some Talk Talk routers do not support Multicasting and therefore will not allow to discover an Airprint printer through the local network.
