AirPrint is how you print on an iPad or iPhone without vendor drivers.


This unless the vendor provides some other app for that, as some do.


If you would like us to troubleshoot this for you, please post the full and exact model name for this HP printer.


HP offers many printers, with overlapping identities and names, and sometimes very different printers with the same number.
