How do I turn on wireless direct or Wi-Fi direct on my HP printer?

With the help of HP wireless direct you allow your Wi-Fi capable devices to connect with your Printer over a wireless network. In this, you don’t need any wireless router or access point. You can connect printer over wireless direct signal the same way you make connection between your devices and wireless network or hotspot.

Printer software (For computer) or a print application (for devices such as phones and tablets) must be installed in order to use the printer over HP wireless direct. You can download the related software from 123.hp.com/setup. Here, you will get all the related software to your printer and windows operating system.
