Hello.

 

I've always successfully connected my inkjet HP to my smartphone via WiFi direct.

 

Problem:

 

Currently it happens that this seems no more possible. The WiFi direct is active on the printer. As usually I activate the WiFi on my device, then I go into the WiFi direct submenu, and here my device finds the printer. So I touch the printer tag on my smartphone, and it appears the connection request on the printer display, to be confirmed within 60 seconds.

 

Finally I touch OK on the printer, the connection process starts, but after several seconds it aborts, and the connection fails
