Simply send your printer an email and it will print out, though I’ve found that the prints can take awhile to come through. Once you do, a page will print that gives you your printer’s e-mail address. You can turn on the service using the printer’s on-board menu-a small monochrome, single-line text display. To use ePrint, download the firmware update and restart the printer.
Printing apps, like those that let you download and print Disney coloring pages and scan directly into Google Docs, are not supported in the 1536dnf. Unlike other ePrint devices, this supports only the remote printing via email feature. This is also the first ePrint compatible printer that I’ve used without a touchscreen. I then connected the printer directly to the wireless router using an Ethernet cable and, voila, AirPrint started working. I tried connecting the printer via both ethernet and USB to my iMac, connecting the Mac to a wireless network, and then using OS X’s Sharing preferences to share the printer over the network, but it wouldn’t show up as an available AirPrint device. I’ll admit that at first I was a bit confused at how this feature would work on a system without wireless connectivity, and there isn’t much documentation on Apple or HP’s websites to help. It comes with a low capacity starter toner cartridge, but the standard replacement cartridge costs $78 and claims to be able to print 2,100 pages, which comes to about 3.7 cents per page.Īll of the other AirPrint compatible HP printers I’ve tested have had Wi-Fi, so connecting my iPhone 4 or iPad to the same network and printing was never a problem. In addition to HP’s own print drivers and HP Scan software, the 1536dnf also comes with Read IRIS Pro 12 for Mac and Windows.
The unit has a 250 sheet input tray and a 35-page automatic document feeder, making it easy to scan, fax and copy multi-page documents. The black 1536dnf was easy to set up, but to use AirPrint and HP’s ownĮPrint, you’ll need to download and install a firmware upgrade.
