how do i make my new ipad 4 recognize my hp printer

any help would be appreciated as my bluetooth is turned on and it will not recognize my hp officejet 6500 wireless printer. any clues ?

 

is the bluetooth on the HP printer turned on?

 

yes and i even tried to load the hp driver on from hp's web site but safari would not recognize same.

 

thanks for the reply especially all the way on the other side of the world. i have a freind that is going to figure out my issue. he is a lot smarter then i am however, i sincerely appreciate your interest. have a merry Christmas and a great new year !!

 

I spent about 7 hours over a 2 day period with 4 different Kodak CSR's trying to get my printer to recognize my network. We even tried a manual input and as soon as I got off the computer with the rep, the printer lost it's signal. I was able to get it back for a short period of time by unplugging the power and restarting the printer.

Finally I just gave up, because the reality of it is I have never had a need to print anything off my iPad or iPhone. Additionally, the way it actually worked was through Google cloud. Basically I would copy what I wanted to print, bring up "Print" which I added to gmail as a contact and paste the page to the email. The printer received the email and printed out what I copied.

 

sincerly wish your friend gets this issue sorted, let us know
