LaserJet Pro M402n print from iPad

[JLSJLS]

I've connected my printer to my Mac via usb cable.

I've use HP Easy Start to setup my printer.

It prints fine from the Mac via usb.

I would like to print wirelessly from my Ipad2.

How do I set this up?

The sales litreture says this model does wireless printing.

However, I can not find any menu item on the printers set-up menu that says "Turn on Wireless".

Both my Ipads report "No AirPrint Printers Found".

Hi,

The following link shows it specs

It does not have wireless facility. To use AirPrint on your iPad wirelessly, you need to setup your printer on a wireless network

(a) Connect your printer to a wireless router using LAN cable  (your printer has 1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000T network)

(b) Use your Mac as a wireless print server and hope iOS can work the AirPrint out for you. Can you connect your iPads to your Mac wirelessly now ?

Regards.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Seems, I've messed up and purchased a product that doesn't work as I expected. 😞

I'll investigate the options for connecting the printer to my home network.

Unfortunately, my router is down stairs and the printer is upstairs so not straight forward for cable connection. 😞

Further to the above...

I've installed a free app, "Air Printer Lite", on my Mac and that seems to beautifully share my LaserJet as an air printer.

Obviously, I can only print from my Ipad when the Mac is on, sharing the printer but I can live with that so all good. 🙂

Hi,

Yes, because you need a "middle man" to do the printing work.
