Here we will discuss two ways to connect an iPad to the printer without AirPrint.

Connect iPad to Printer Without AirPrint Using a Printing App

• Install the official iPad app for your printer (if you don’t have AirPrint). Nearly all printer manufacturers now provide iPad/iPhone apps for their wireless printers, and they are easy to find in the App Store. Just open the app store and search for your printer manufacturer to find the app.

• Connect your printer to a Wi-Fi network. When you’re using your printer’s iPad app, you’ll need to make sure it’s turned on and connected to Wi-Fi so your iPad can find it.

• Add your printer to the printer app. then Open the app for your printer manufacturer (e.g., HP Smart) and follow the on-screen instructions to detect and add your printer.

• Open the file you want to print. For example, if you want to print a photo, open the Photos app and tap the photo.

Using Your Computer as an AirPrint Server

• Install a PC or Mac app that adds AirPrint functionality to your printer. There are apps available for both Windows and macOS. This will work even if your printer doesn’t have Wi-Fi! Every time you want to print you have to turn on your computer and be connected to Wi-Fi.

• Add your printer to the PC or Mac app you have installed. Steps vary by app, but by the time you’ve connected your printer to your computer, all of these apps need to recognize the printer and activate it.
