Product: Photosmart 385

I'm trying to connect my iPhone and iPad through bluetooth to my Photosmart 385 to more easily print photos and am unable to do so and can't find instructions in the menu, etc.  When trying to pair the printer to both of my devices there is no recognition of the other devices.  Any instructions and help would be greatly appreciated.  Currently I have to email photos from my iPhone to Macbook then save them to a memory stick so I can print them...such a pain!  Thanks.

My system is OS X Yosemite.  And I tried to find the driver on the HP website to download it and I can't find it...nothing for the HP Photosmart 380 that I could locate anyway.

Hi @jjbtsa,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Due to the age of the printer there no drivers available for download.

 

Also, I forgot to mention that the iPad and iPhone cannot print using Bluetooth. 

 

Hope this answers your question. I hope you have a great weekend!

Okay, thanks.  But bummer I can't connect this printer anymore.  Still works great but would be wonderful for ease of use.  Thanks for your help.
