These printers include new HP ePrint-capable printers–Photosmart,
Officejet, and LaserJet–as well as legacy printers approximately five years
old or newer. Make sure your printer is turned on and that both your
device and the printer are connected to your local or corporate wireless
network. For personal printers, see the instructions that came with your
printer for information about setting up a printer on a wireless network.

be added manually to your device.

pages (see Print a web page), Word documents or PowerPoint
presentations (see Print a Word document or PowerPoint presentation),
and PDF files (see Print a PDF file).
