Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand you are trying to connect the printer using Bluetooth, I am glad to assist you.

HP Smart uses Bluetooth for printer setup only. Printing using Bluetooth is not supported.

 

However, with Wi-Fi Direct, you can print wirelessly from a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other wireless-capable device—without connecting to an existing wireless network.

Refer to page number 121 in this user guide for the steps to connect the iPad to Wi-Fi direct:- Click here

 

Keep me posted.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
