A:AnswerWhen you connect via an ethernet cable, the printer has an IP address. The wireless is disabled because otherwise you would have 2 IP addresses. You cannot have 2 IP addresses on the printer. If the network that the printer is on also has WiFI you can use the mobile printing features of Air Print and HP Smart. Wifi direct would be disabled.

A:AnswerAll of the current HP printers have drivers available on support.hp.com (most of our older printer's drivers are also there). A moderately priced, well-equipped printer would be the OfficeJet Pro 8025 or for lower volume printing, the OfficeJet 5255. The OfficeJet Pro 8025 uses 910 or 910XL cartridges. The OfficeJet 5255 uses the 63 or 63XL cartridges.
