I have a small laptop, ,I tend to only use this when I want to print from it.....
I use an Apple IPad........but recently since I got my new IPhone, I’m hooked on this now...
My husband has got an Amazon Fire Tablet It’s useless.!!
Depending on the age of your iPad, you can set it up to Air print too. A new iphone should do this too.
Now that I’ve said this, your printer may not be new enough for Air Print.
Just suggestions.
