How do I connect the M553DN Laserjet to Wifi??? - (Jetdirect 3000w accessory is already installed)

[Azes]

Any help is appreciated.

This printer was meant to be connected to the internet via WIFI.  The printer is not near a LAN to be connected via a network cable.

I purchased the JetDirect 3000w accessory to allow the printer to have wireless connectivity.  The JetDirect 3000w accessorry is physically installed and I have enabled "Wireless Direct" via the printer's control panel.  But I can't figure out how to connect the printer to the WiFi.

I have looked all over the printer control panel under networking, security etc but cannot find where or how to connect the printer to the Wifi using Wireless Direct.

Any help is trully appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi,

From the Jetdirect 3000w feature:

it won't connect your printer to your wifi network because it only deploys wireless direct printing. And looks like you can only setup to use Direct printing:

Thank you for the clarification.  

For others that may run into issues when installing/using this product, whether you are printing using AirPrint from your Mac/iPhone, or printing from your Windows machine, remember to connect to the printer's wireless direct "network" in the Wifi settings of your Mac/iPhone/PC prior to printing.

Currently my printer is not connected to the internet using a network cable and I'm still able to print wirelessly from my iPhone or my Windows laptop.
