Connecting printer to iPad

[Mdl18]

I want to connect my HP Envy 6000 printer to my iPad. The iPad software version is 12.5.7 and there is no further update available, but HP Smart only supports version 15.0.

Welcome to the HP Community --

You are correct -- HP Smart will not install on that older version of iOS.

There is no workaround to the requirement.
