Installed eprint app on ipad2 and iphone, have compatible printer hp oj 8500a , but can't print

I have installed the eprint app on my Ipda2 and Ipone 3gs and still not able to print anything except pictures??  can't figure out why when I'm in email, documents, etc eprint nir airprint come up.  My printer is an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500a Plus, compatible with both.  If I use Print Direct App i can print documents I save to that app but don't really want to use that and prefer to use airprint or eprint.  HELP

Hi lobsterdiver1,
I would recommend:
Going to the Web Services menu inside the Setup menu.
Enabling Web Services.
Install any updates that are available after enabling web services (the printer will prompt your or you can manually check for updates under the Web Services menu).
Make sure your iPad and iPhone are connected to the same network as the printer.
Try the AirPrint option located in one of the default apps (Safari, Photos, or Mail).
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.
