Welcome to HP support community.

 

Follow the below steps to add the printer with WiFi Direct

  1. Confirm the printer is turned on, cartridges are installed, and plain paper is loaded in the main tray.

  2. Open the Printers list in the Devices settings.

    • Windows 10: From the Start menu, click Settings, click Devices, and then click Printers & scanners.

  3. Click Add a printer or scanner.

  4. Click Show Wi-Fi Direct printers if the option displays.

  5. Locate the printer with DIRECT in the name (Example: DIRECT-72-HP Officejet Pro 6970), but do not click Add device yet.

  6. Go to the printer and confirm it is on and in a ready state. If it entered sleep mode, press the Power button to wake it.

  7. Return to the computer and click Add device.

  8. If a Enter the WPS PIN for your printer message displays, quickly return to the printer. An 8-digit PIN displays on the control panel or a printout. Enter this PIN within 90 seconds, and then click Next to complete the setup.

    NOTE: 

    If a Driver is unavailable status displays during the setup, go to 123.hp.com to install a driver.
