No need to fix this. It supports Direct printing therefore it can stand out as a network itself.  This allow your computers and mobile devices ro print Directly, no need your router. Same as my loan printer

Hi,

If you have a router or use a USB and would like to disable this feature you may disable WiFi Direct:

Touch the Wi-Fi Direct icon , then tap the gear icon and disable WiFi direct, the network will no longer display then...

Shlomi
