Use Wi-Fi Direct
With Wi-Fi Direct, you can print wirelessly from a computer, smart phone, tablet, or other wireless-capable
device—without connecting to an existing wireless network.
Guidelines for using Wi-Fi Direct
● Make sure your computer or mobile device has the necessary software.
—
If you are using a computer, make sure you have installed the printer software provided with the
printer.
If you have not installed the HP printer software on the computer, connect to Wi-Fi Direct first and
then install the printer software. Select Wireless when prompted by the printer software for a
connection type.
— If you are using a mobile device, make sure you have installed a compatible printing app. For more
