When I go to select a printer from any software package I'm using on my desktop computer, my "Direct" printer does not show up. I know it's there because the "HP Network Configuration Page" I just printed shows it exists and that its status is on.
How do I get the "Direct" printer to appear along with other printers (including the wireless connection I typically use, because the computer and printer and router are all near each other)? I'd like to check that "Direct" works in case I ever have a reason to use it.
Thanks for any advice!

Hello KinNC,
Restart the printer and the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions. Restore Wi-Fi setup mode. Most printers with a touchscreen display or menu: Open the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.
