FOUL! Why does HP need to now require printers to be connected to the internet at all times? FOUL!!!! Now I'm being told the printer cannot be setup without "Wireless Direct" or without the printer connected at all times. There is NO "reason" to justify this.

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
