My printer is on my local wifi network and prints from android and Windows. However, the HP smart app on my iPads won’t ‘find’ this printer. It was OK until a week or so ago.
Tried inputting IP address without success.

Tried all the suggestions, but none really cover this issue.

Tried Switching off and on of various things has no effect.

Printer definitely on network, as other non-ios devices are connected to it and work.

Would welcome some ideas, please.

check with your Internet service provider if your router is able to forward 'Bonjour packets'.  Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records. The software comes built-in with Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems.
