As long as it is an HP printer that does IPP protocol, you should be 
ok.  The problem comes from WebOS based devices that can ONLY print 
using ePrint.  Their driver checks the the printer's information and if 
it doesn't recognize it as an HP printer (even though the pertinent 
print capabilities are good), it won't print to it.

Airprint on iOS and Mac OS/X is more relaxed as it supports both ePrint 
and CUPS networking.
