Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw
Operating System: Other
A while ago I asked for help because WiFi Direct in my MFP M283fdw would not stay switched off: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Wireless-Networking-Internet/Cannot-turn-off-WifiDirect-on-my-...
After trying a new method to switch off Wifi Direct I had the impression that the setting would be more persistent than before, but unfortunately it turns out that the printer keeps switching on WifiDirect, despite me switching it off repeatedly in different ways. Can anybody think of a possible solution (Wifi here is crowded enough to not let a superfluous WLAN network interfere.)
Thank You!
Günter
