WiFi Direct not working on 200 mobile printer

[Maz066]

I cannot get my new Officejet 200 mobile to print via WiFi Direct. I have installed the software, I have successfully connected the printer to my  home wireless. I have connected the  DIRECT-12-HP Officejet 200 on my laptop. The printer tells me I have connected and on my WiFi Direct screen on the printer it tells me 1 device is connected. However on my laptop it tells me the printer is "Off-Line" and nothing prints. When I switch my laptop back to my normal wireless connection, the printer prints the quew

WiFi Direct is only to be used when NO router is available.   This should be turned off in the printer and connect your printer to your router via SSID and password.

Hi,

You may use WiFi Firect when not connected through the router, but the printer need to be configured on your PC for a such.

Connect the the WiFi Direct network from your PC.

From the Control Panel click View Devices and Printers.

Click Add Printer and add a 2nd queue of your printer through the WiFi direct connection, the printer should be listed with the WiFi Direct address.

Now try printing with the newly added port which is set via a WiFi Firect connection.

The same print queue cannot be used for both your home network or via WiFi Direct as the printer IP Address changes from your home network to the WiFi direct connection, your original queue is set to print through your home network..
