Cannot Connect Samsung S8 phone using wifi Direct & HP Smart app

[Stanners]

Cannot connect my HP2633 printer to my Samsung S8 phone to scan. I have the HP Smart app and have tried everything (uninstall / reinstall etc). I have tried the password 12345678 and I keep getting the message "cannot connect with this password, please try again". I have followed all the instructions I can find with what to press on the printer & phone. I do not have wifi at home so wifi direct is vital to me. Please help!

Hi,

Press the Information button of the printer (the i button), the printed report should include the Wi-Fi Direct password listed.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. As I said I have tried the wifi-direct password on the printed report  (which is shown as 12345678) and is still says "cannot connect with this password, please try again".
