Print using Wi-Fi Direct With Wi-Fi Direct, you can print wirelessly from a computer, smart phone, tablet, or other wirelesscapable device-without connecting to an existing wireless network. Guidelines for using Wi-Fi Direct There are essential prerequisites to 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 HP printer software. ● 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 information, visit the HP Mobile Printing website at http://www.hp.com/go/mobileprinting. If a local version of this website is not available in your country/region or language, you might be directed to the HP Mobile Printing website in another country/region or language. ● Make sure Wi-Fi Direct for your printer is turned on. ● Up to five computers and mobile devices can use the same Wi-Fi Direct connection. ● Wi-Fi Direct can be used while the printer is also connected to a network using a wireless connection. ● Wi-Fi Direct cannot be used to connect a computer, mobile device, or printer to the Internet.
