Guidelines for using Wi-Fi Direct ● Make sure your computer or mobile device has the necessary software. – If you are using a computer, make sure you have installed the HP printer software. If you have not installed the HP printer software on the computer, connect to Wi-Fi Direct first and then install the printer software. Select Wireless when prompted by the printer software for a connection type. – If you are using a mobile device, make sure you have installed a compatible printing app. For more information about mobile printing, visit www.hp.com/global/us/en/eprint/ mobile_printing_apps.html. ● Make sure Wi-Fi Direct for your printer is turned on. ● Up to five computers and mobile devices can use the same Wi-Fi Direct connection. ● Wi-Fi Direct can be used while the printer is also connected either to a computer using a USB cable or to a network using a wireless connection. ● Wi-Fi Direct cannot be used to connect a computer, mobile device, or printer to the Internet
Bullet point #4 suggests to me that WiFi-Direct can be used at the same time as the printer is configured to connect to an access point.
At the moment, I don't have time to look into the HP manuals that closely. I'm not impressed by the HP manuals. :-)
Oh, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAvEUsz3t_A shows how to setup wireless connecting to a WiFi access point using the touch screen.
Connected the printer to WIFI. Windows systems print. In F35 "configure printers" finds it with the address
dnssd://HP%20ENVY%205530%20series%20%5B203D69%5D._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-a45d36203d69
There are three drivers listed for the found for the HP ENVY 5530
HP Envy 5530 series hpijs, 3.22.2
HP Envy 5530 series hpcups, 3.22.2
The response with either driver is 'unable to locate printer "HPA45D36203D69.local"'
Tried using the various form of the ipps address with the ip address of the printer get the reply that the printer does not respond.
