How do I get AirPrint
I just bought a new HP 8620 Pro, and it keeps telling me that I need AirPrint.
I can go thru Image capture but HP Scan is a better setup and can do more.
Thanks
Greg
Airprint is "minimal-options, no driver required" printing.
Does this help?

Did you download drivers for the printer? Check the HP web site for drivers.
Yes, I downloaded the software, the printer and fax work as does the wireless (computer to printer )
I guess I need to call HP
The AIRPRINT on HP sends you in circles,
They do not have a simple download for AirPrint.
I am not keen on downloading everything again
Greg, did you see this important note for Officejet printers? (from the link above)
NOTE:Download and install any firmware updates from the printer control panel to when connected to the Internet. You do not need to use your Mac for this process.
You don't need to download anything on your Mac.
When you setup your printer for WiFi be sure to pick airprint and not the name of the printer in the use box. Common mistake. This will also mess up your scan feature as well.
Thanks, I just set it up,
When I did it yesterday, it kept insisting that I sign up for an INK deal, I bypassed it and I think I ended the setup.
Now it gives me a claim code, I will see where that takes me.
Well the setup was easy to connect to the HP Network.
But no luck yet, maybe it takes awhile to communicate any updates.
Will try later
The Systems Preps in "Scan" says it is scanned but does not show up un my desktop, where I have it located to go.
Here is what I got when I try the HP Scan from the HP App:
This may be useful also:
I got the Scan in the Mac Basics, it will print that way.
I am trying to get the HPScan app to work, it is really a great program.
I will eventually call HP if the updates do not work.
Thanks it did show me another way also thru Preview.
I will get there and let everyone know,
Greg
Greg -
Sorry to repeat here - have you updated the printer's firmware From The Printer's Front Control Panel?
Airprint "software" on your Mac is for sharing a printer through the Mac - but the printer you bought is supposed to have the capability of Airprint - directly to the printer - from mobile devices.
I think this is where the confusion lies.
And sorry if I'm misunderstanding...
