Thanks for taking an interest in the HP Support Forums After reading your post I see that your iPhone is asking for a password to connect to HP Printer. I will be a delight to assist you here.

Superb analysis and brilliant diagnosis of the issue before posting. 🙂  Kudos to you on that score.:)

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:

Are you trying to connect your iPhone to the printer with WiFi direct?

If yes, follow the below steps:

1. On your printer, press the Wi-Fi Direct   button to turn on the Wi-Fi Direct.

2. Press the Information button to print a report that includes the Wi-Fi Direct name and password.

3. If the option displays, select Automatic to require a simple password of 12345678 to connect to the printer, or select Manual to generate a more secure randomly generated password that users must obtain from the printer.

4. On the mobile device, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, and then select DIRECT-xx-HP [your printer model name] from the list of available networks

5. If prompted, type the Wi-Fi Direct password.

6. Open the photo or document that you want to print, and then tap Print from the app menu or the action menu.

7. Select your printer model from the list of available printers, and then tap Print.

8. Reconnect the mobile device to your normal wireless network after the print job completes.

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers.
