I have Hp 3636. I'm switching on Wifi Direct or WIreless Direct and trying to connect to it as to a regular Wifi Hotspot. Then it asks me for a password. How do I get to know my password? 

 

Cheers

You WiFi Direct password is revealed when you print out your Network Config sheet from the printer according to the manual I downloaded and read.

Hi,

if the Wifi Direct button is already turned on Press and hold the button for 3 seconds, the printed report includes the WiFi Direct password.

 

if its light turns off, press the button to enable WiFi Direct and te report should be printed as well.

 

It is button #4 as described below:

I bought my  deskjet GT 5820 about 20 days ago.

 

I try to connetct my Samsung S7 phone to the printer via 'wifi direct' and I know that the password is 12345678,

BUT my phone does not give me the option to enter a Password !

 

Thus, I see the GT 5820 on my phone under 'wifi direct', but the printer does not allow the connection.

 

What to do?

 

Thank you in advance
