When trying to follow the directions on this page:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/wireless-direct.html
where it says:
"Perform the following steps to connect your mobile device or computer:
- Turn on HP wireless direct or Wi-Fi Direct from the printer’s control panel."
There is no option to do this on the control panel of the M402dw.
Right now when I look in the WiFi connections list in Windows I see:
HP-Setup>6d-M402 Laserj...
But I need to see:
DIRECT-xx*-HP-< printer model >
Can someone please tell me how to turn on WiFi Direct on the LaserJet Pro M402dw?
Thanks.

I finally got it.
First I had to do a firmware update. Then I could turn it on using the control panel under Network Setup.
