How do I get my iPad to find my printer

Reset your router and reset your iPad. Also:

Additional Information

If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"

Verify that the printer:

1. Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
2. Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
3. Has the latest firmware version installed.
4. Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
5. Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.

If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.Notes:

• Avoid connecting AirPrint-capable printers to the USB port of Apple AirPort Base Stations or Time Capsules. Doing so can enable traditional AirPort printing from a Mac, but it will not enable AirPrint functions for iOS devices. If you cannot use Wi-Fi networking to connect the AirPrint-capable printer, use an Ethernet connection from the AirPrint-capable printer to the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
• Wi-Fi printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

First, make sure the printer is definitely hooked up to your wireless network (it must be on the same network as the iPad). Second, make sure the printer firmware is up-to-date - some Airprint printers required a firmware upgrade before they were fully compatible. Once that's done, the iPad should locate the printer when you go to the Share button and try to print from an application.

What is the model of printer, by the way?

that one doesn't appear in the compatible Airprint printers listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356

that means a no go for Apple supported ways. There might be a way with an app from HP or another third party app, though...

HP claims it has Airprint, though. I don't think the Apple list is updated very often.
