The HP D1520 does not have Wi-Fi or AirPrint built in. You will need to send whatever you want to print to your computer and then print from the computer.

What App did you download?


Did it say it would work with your printer?


Your printer is not AirPrint compatible, so will not work directly on the iPhone or any App that expects an AirPrint compatible printer. Your printer is not even network enabled. It can only be connected to a computer via USB.


There is software that can share a local printer connected to a computer to the network the computer is connected to so iOS devices can use it. But that needs to be installed on the computer not the iOS device.
