How can you tell if your Printer has HP ePrint cloud printing? 
To print with HP ePrint, confirm your printer, computer, or mobile device meet the following requirements.
  • Your printer supports HP ePrint.
    • Printers with a touchscreen display: Look for an HP ePrint logo or icon or a Web Services icon on the printer or control panel display.
    • Printers with a text-based menu display: Navigate to the Web Services Setup, Network Setup, or Wireless Settings to confirm it has a Web Services menu.
    • Printers with LED or buttons-only displays: Press the Information button  to print a Printer Information report. Review the report for HP ePrint or Web Services support.
  • Your printer, computer, and mobile device are connected to a wireless or Ethernet network with an active Internet connection. If you connect your printer with a USB cable, HP ePrint does not work.
