Thank you. I thought that WiFi Direct allowed one to use the printer, despite the HP+, without a WiFi connection. One further question: if I were to set up/register the printer somewhere with WiFi, could I use it elsewhere without a connection afterwards, through WiFi Direct?

No,
An HP Plus printer requires internet access to operate, this is part of the terms for the cloud services, the added 1 year warranty and 6 month plan provided with the printer, this is part of its system requirements:

HP Plus printers required internet access, you should look for the non-HP Plus model, such as the M234sdw model if you would like to use a printer without any internet access:

Thank you. Might I ask what the alternative would be? The printer's functionality/price range is perfect for me, but I need to be a able to use it without connecting the printer to a WiFi network; WiFi Direct or a connection directly through a USB cable would work.
