Hi @Tuneless 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for explaining the issue—I'm really sorry your HP Smart Tank 7005 isn’t printing from your iPad, even though the document appears on screen. That kind of disconnect can be frustrating, especially when everything seems ready to go.

Let’s walk through a few steps to help your iPad communicate properly with the printer:

Step-by-Step Fix for iPad Not Printing to HP Smart Tank 7005

 

1. Confirm AirPrint Compatibility

The HP Smart Tank 7005 supports Apple AirPrint, which allows direct printing from iPads without needing extra apps.

• Make sure your iPad and printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
• Open the document or image on your iPad
• Tap the Share icon > Print
• Select your printer from the list

If the printer doesn’t appear, continue to the next step.

 

2. Check Printer’s Network Connection

• On the printer’s control panel, print a Network Configuration Page
• Confirm that the printer has a valid IP address and is connected to your Wi-Fi

If the printer is offline or disconnected, reconnect it using the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer.

 

3. Update Printer Firmware

Outdated firmware can block AirPrint functionality.

• Visit: HP Smart Tank 7005 Firmware and Drivers
• Download and install the latest firmware update using a Windows or Mac computer
• Restart the printer after updating

This ensures full compatibility with iPad printing.

 

4. Use HP Smart App as an Alternative

If AirPrint still doesn’t work, try printing through the HP Smart app:

• Download HP Smart from the App Store
• Open the app and add your printer
• Tap Print Documents or Print Photos
• Select your file and send it to the printer

This bypasses AirPrint and uses HP’s direct protocol.

Let me know what happens after checking the network and trying AirPrint—I’ll guide you further if needed. 

You're doing everything right by staying proactive and documenting the issue clearly.
