Glad it's working for you.

I can't print from my iPad 2, my HP OfficeJet 6500 E710n-z printer is wireless enabled, but it is connected to my BT Infinity Router (British Telecomm Hub 3.0 Media Gateway {HH3}) via an Ethernet cable. This disables the printers' wireless functions, so I can't connect directly via Airprint.

So I want to print via my router. I can connect and browse with my iPad via my home hub. But when I try to add it via "add a device" to my home network I cannot be seen on my PC. I understand that I need to make my iPad visible, but can't find how to do this on it.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit.

Can anyone please help?
thanks

I have just connected a HP 6500 E709a via ethernet to my router. I am printing via the free HP ePrint app or Print Agent Pro.

Printing is done via the 'Open in...' Action button.

I installed both as the HP ePrint app doesn't appear as an option with every application's 'Open in..' menu, whereas Print Agent Pro seems to be there with most.

I probably don't need the HP version now, but it's free and doesn't take up a lot of space.

Print Agent has a Lite version that you can install to test compatibility before purchasing the Pro version.

Maybe either/both the apps will work with your printer and apps?

Also, I think you may be able to scan to your device by installing the free HP Printer Control app too.
