Am I at a dead end for Airprinting?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1.1
No
Air print info is here

And then start looking around HP's site to see what drivers you need

Even after the warranty is up, most sites always have manuals and drivers available on their sites.
Do you have an 8500A or just the 8500? If it is Airprint compatible it would be A910a.
If your printer is not an air print enabled printer you can also look to see if HP has any apps, or look for third party apps. I use Print n Share but there's also printopia and print central and others I'm sure.
saqys it is A909g series
I downloaded and installed - at least per the computer- the latest firmware version for my printer from HP site. However, when I make a self report from the printer it still shows the same prior firmware. Yes, I re booted the printer, as well as the computer. I also got a message that an "unidentified device driver" was installing, then a message that the installation of that unidentified device driver failed. I am presuming that was the printer driver but it did not say and the message just says to consult the manufacturer, doesnt say which one. Here we go again. It is always some Catch 22 situation with these things.
Have a 4 yr old hp officejet pro 8500. As such have no support available from hp. Apple says to contact hp to see how to install latest firmware for printing from my ipad. Am I at a dead end?
