Remove Wi-Fi Direct Password

[crumas]

Hello,

I recently picked up a Color Laser Jet Pro M452nw because it of the Wi-Fi Direct print capabilities. I can set up the Wi-Fi Direct service to run and I can connect to it no problem, but i don't want to have to use a password when I connect to the printer. Is there a way to use the Wi-Fi direct capability without needing a password to connect? Due to security settings on my wireless network, connecting the printer to my Wi-Fi network to use isn't an option, that is why i want to use Wi-Fi direct.

Thanks

Hi,

Your printer supports the Wi-Fi Direct technology which require a WPA passcode.

Older models with HP Wireless Direct technology had an optional WPA security, that do not apply for the M452.

You may find the 'What is HP wireless direct and Wi-Fi Direct?' section below as a reference:
