If you want to use the printer wirelessly without a router
Use Wi-Fi Direct to print wirelessly without a router, from your computer, smartphone, or other wireless enabled
device. To use Wi-Fi Direct from a computer, the printer software must be installed on the computer.
1. If the Wi-Fi Direct light on the printer is off, press the Wi-Fi Direct button (
) to turn on Wi-Fi Direct.
The Wi-Fi Direct light is on when Wi-Fi Direct is turned on.
2. Press the Wi-Fi Direct button (
) and the Information button (
) together to print a Wi-Fi Direct guide.
3. Follow the instruction on the Wi-Fi Direct guide to connect your computer or mobile device to the printer.
4. Print as you normally do from your computer or mobile device.
Note: Wi-Fi Direct connection does not provide Internet access.
Visit the HP Wi-Fi Direct Printing website at o learn more.
This product is designed for use in open environments (e.g., in homes and not connected to the public Internet)
in which anyone may access and use the printer. As a result, the Wi-Fi Direct setting is in “Automatic” mode
by default, without an administrator password; this allows anyone in wireless range to connect and access all
functions and settings of the printer. If higher security levels are desired, HP recommends changing the Wi-Fi Direct
Connection Method from “Automatic” to “Manual” and establishing an administrator password. You can change the
security settings from the embedded web server (EWS). Go to the electronic Help for more information.
If you want to share your printer with multiple computers on your network
First install your printer on your home network. After you have successfully connected your printer to your home
network, you can share your printer with other computers on the same network. For each additional computer you
only need to install the HP printer software. During the software installation, select Wireless from the Connection
Options screen and then follow the onscreen instructions.
