Wi-Fi Direct is normally a toggle on the printer control panel, that is, Touch the Wi-Fi Direct to enable, touch again to disable the setting.

For printers without a control panel, including yours, see the instructions in the User Guide on Page 65

Partial Excerpt

To turn Wi-Fi Direct on or off
On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button ( ) and the Resume button ( ) together for three seconds.
● When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the display stays on. To find the Wi-Fi Direct name and password, press the Information button ( ) to print a printer information page.
NOTE: When you turn on Wi-Fi Direct the first time, the printer automatically prints a Wi-Fi Direct guide. The guide provides instructions about how to use Wi-Fi Direct. After that, you can press the Information button ( ) and the Resume button ( ) together to print the Wi-Fi Direct guide. The guide may not be available in all languages.
● When Wi-Fi Direct is turned off, the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the display is off.
● For more information about the Wi-Fi Direct icon status, see Control panel display icons on page 6.

Thank you very much for the information. The Wifi Direct Network has disapeared from the Wifi networks on my computer and the Wifi Direct icon on the printer too.

Though, the printer was not working in wifi with my computer. I went to the HP site and i reinstall the printer following their instructions. Now, the printer is working perfectly in Wifi with my computer to print almost every document (word, excel, pdf document, courrier messages, chrome html pages, internet explorer html pages). The only exception is the Edge html pages. The message from Edge is that my printer has encountered unexpected configuration problem (code : 0x80070005). I don't understand that because when i switch from Edge to Internet Explorer on the same html page, the printer works perfectly. Can you help me with that. My system is Windows 10 - 64 bits, my computer a HP ENVY TouchSmart and my printer a HP Deskjet 2655. 

Thanks in advance.

You are welcome.

Sorry, I cannot help with Edge - although some people do use it and like it quite well, I think the browser is still fussy and stubborn about many things.  For example, Edge won't support my security software.  For that reason alone, I avoid using Edge unless I am testing it for the purpose of helping someone with its use or to perhaps compare its response to that of another browser.  In GENERAL, except for the occasional annoyance and the lack of extension support, Edge seems like a nice browser.

If you decide to look further into the issue, remember that the build-version of Windows 10 might be a factor, too.  For example, if you wish to compare your Edge browser response to one of your friends, make sure both of you are running the same build-version of Windows 10.   If you want to further restrict the variables, have the friend install the printer software on his / her computer and allow that computer on your network.
