Air print on a non-wireless printer

Can I air print through a standard HP 6500 officejet from my iPad, iPhone, or macbook pro? The app "print Pro" says I can.
Thanks
Steve

Try Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work.
You can also buy this standalone print server:

These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer.
....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

HP laserjet pro M1536dnf wireless setup to use Air print

Since I trying to print from my new Ipad Air, excuse my newbie networking printing questions!
This what I know so far:
1. I understand my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'not' a WiFi printer.
2. As per HP Support and the Apple Support web sites, my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'Air Print' enabled. I guess a certain firmware update must of incorporated the Air Print capabilty!
3. As per HP Support web site, I currently have the latest firmware installed ( 20130815 ).
Note: On my Config Report, it shows the status for both IPv4 and IPv6 as 'Network Cable Disconnected '. I have Show IP address as enabled.
3. My home setup has the cable internet going from my cable modem to my wireless Linkys E3200 router via coaxial cable. From my router to my computer is wired via the Ethernet cable. My HP Laserjet 1536dnf printer is wired to my computer via USB cable.
Questions:
1. Going from I seen and read on on-line, is correct to say 'I will have to change my Ethernet cable going from the router to the computer and change it to from the router to the printer's Ethernet port?
2. Will I have to remove the USB from Printer to the computer?
3. By removing the USB cable between the printer and the computer, how would my computer communicate to the printer to perform a print job? Unless, I'm guessing, I add another Ethernet cable between the router and my computer's ethernet port!
4. Any other tips, that I might have missed?

Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Wireless e-All-in-One?

Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 plus Wireless e-all-in-one?

AirPrint is an iOS 5 protocol. It is not used on the Mac or Lion. What you *can* do is add the wireless printer to you network and print from the mac using that.

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless. Does it support "air print'?

I just purchased an iPad2. I have setup a wireless network in my home. My laptop, printer and Blu-ray are attached to this. The iPad2 said the wireless printer must be "air print" enabled. I can not find anywhere there is a mention of "air print" on the website. How do I know if my printer is "air print" enabled?
Thank you for your help.
Patricia

Unless yours is an 8500A I don't think it supports AirPrint. Check this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02623193&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N154

Hi WetSteve,
You can setup your printer with google cloudprint. You can find a youtube video here on how to register
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMPVleNyWlQ&feature=youtu.be
Once your printer is connected to the PC\Laptop and logged into google on your S5 you should be able to print
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

How do I get my ipad to find the wireless HP printer that is supposed to be compatible w/ Air Print

How do I get my ipad to find the wireless HP printer that is supposed to be compatible w/ Air Print?

Mary-
First be sure your printer is on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers at <iOS: AirPrint 101>.
Assuming it is on that list, check to see if there is a firmware update for it. You should be able check it from the printer's control panel in one of the setup or preferences menus.
If the printer is still not found in the iPad's print routine, your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. You would need to contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change you can make to its setup, or if there is a firmware update that will solve the problem.

I just bought "print n share pro" app and it dosen't seem to find our printer on our wifi network (a non-wireless HP printer attached to HP PC). What do I need to do to set this up?

I can only tell you that I had a couple of apps that worked perfect before but when ios 5.0.1, apple closed whatever way the apps used to print....Print Central was one....the developer. at least this one, said they could not do anything about it...they only recommended printing to PDF...
But I have a dedicated file server ( steream music and movies ) and I installed FINGERPRINT on my server and now I can print from my ipad, iphone to any printer on my server

Hello f5trouble,
You cannot use AirPrint without being connected to a network. If you do not have a wireless network, you can try connecting the printer and iOS device through an AdHoc connection. To do this, turn on the wireless. When you enable the wireless on the printer without connecting it to a network, it will start to broadcast its own network, ussualy called HPSETUP. Next you need to connect the iOS device to the network the printer is broadcasting. Once you have the iOS device and the printer connected via AdHoc, follow the normal steps to AirPrint and it should print. I do not recomend setting up the printer and iOS device on an AdHoc connection, because it will automatically stop broadcasting after an hour, and you will have to reconnect them each time you want to use it.

Update printer with the latest firmware. They need the latest firmware to Airprint.

The router is a Linksys WRTU54G-TM. The Ipad recognizes the printer and spools the print job but there is no action at the printer. E-Print works.

Is it possible to print wirelessly (WITHOUT A WI FI INTERNET CONNECTION) using my ipad3 and a HP air printer ?.

Christina,
The purpose of the AirPrint system was to permit printing directly from iDevices to printers that are AirPrint enabled without going through an intermediary device. The catch is the printer must be an AirPrint enabled printer. The iPad's apps will then recognize the printer and print seamlessly. Follow the link Demo gave you to see the specifics from HP since that is the printer you asked about using.
