Floranext recommends customers use HP printers with the capability of HP ePrint cloud printing.
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.
