Cannot turn on Wi-Fi Direct on HP Deskjet 2620

[GaT7]

Unable to setup wireless printing at all in fact.

It's a brand new printer (arrived this afternoon sealed from Currys/PCWorld, UK)...

I'm following the very simple procedure from the manual (page 65), which states, "On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button ( ) and the Resume button ( ) together for three seconds."

But, when I do this, nothing happens - no Wi-Fi Direct icon appears at any point. I've also tried holding it down for longer to no avail.

Both the Power light & the Wireless button light is blinking before/whilst I'm doing the above though - does this make a difference?

What's going on please? Is the DJ 2620 even capable of Wi-Fi Direct?

I cannot setup up the printer using WPS either as I'm using a Tenda Nova Mesh Wi-Fi system (MW6/MW3), which doesn't seem to have WPS.

I tried to troubleshoot using this guide, but to no avail either: HP DeskJet 2600 Printers - Blinking Lights

The only 3 items that display on the printer screen are: 1. the digit '0', 2. the wireless icon & 3. the wireless signal bars going back & forth - there is nothing else displaying on the screen at any time. Is this normal?
