Hi @12345Hh,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

I understand you need to print directly from your iOS device, sure I'd be glad to assist you.

 

Send a print job using a Wi-Fi Direct printer connection. Complete these steps while next to the printer.


Find the Wi-Fi Direct name and password. For example, DIRECT-72-HP OfficeJet Pro 6970.

HP Smart app: From the app home screen, click the image of your printer, and then click Advanced Settings to open the printer Embedded Web Server (EWS). From the EWS home page, click the Network or Networking tab, and then click Wi-Fi Direct > Setup or Wi-Fi Direct Setup to view the Wi-Fi Direct name and password.

Locations of Wi-Fi Direct name and password in the EWS

Printers with a touchscreen control panel: On the control panel, touch the Wi-Fi Direct icon to view the Wi-Fi Direct name and password.

Viewing the Wi-Fi Direct details menu

Printers without a touchscreen control panel: On the control panel, press the Information button to print an Information Report. Printing reports from the control panel can vary by printer model.

Depending on your printer, another method might be:

Press and hold the Wi-Fi Direct button for 3 seconds.

Press the Wi-Fi Direct and Information buttons at the same time.

Press and hold the Resume button ( or ) for up to 10 seconds until the report prints.

HP DeskJet 6000, 6400, ENVY 6000, 6400, and Tango printers: Touch and hold the Information button until all buttons light up, and then touch the Information and Cancel buttons at the same time.

Make sure paper is loaded into the input tray, and then turn on the printer.

If you want to print web content, such as an email or cloud-based document, open the item before proceeding.

On your mobile device, open the Wi-Fi network menu, and then select your printer starting with DIRECT in the name and followed by the model name.

Note:

There might be multiple Wi-Fi Direct printers within range of your mobile device. Make sure to select the name of your printer in the list to prevent connection and print job issues.

Selecting your Wi-Fi Direct printer name from the list

If prompted, enter the Wi-Fi Direct password, and then tap Join.

Tapping Join

Open the item you want to print, and then select the option to Print.

Select AirPrint, if prompted.

Select your printer, and then tap Print.

If you were previously connected to a Wi-Fi network, return to the Wi-Fi network menu to reconnect to the network.

 

If this solution hit the spot, please come back and click "Accepted Solution" to help others find the answer. And if you'd like to say thanks, select "Yes" on the bottom left of the public post, as that would make our day! 

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
