The printer is the one that accepts text and graphics from a computer or mobile and transfers the information to paper. This whole process of printing requires strong connectivity between the device and printer, which can be achieved either by ethernet or wireless. With the passage of time, wireless communication is being preferred the most. So, here I will be telling you the whole procedure of how you can connect with the printer in a wireless mode.
Wi-Fi Direct is the connection technique, using which the connectivity is established between the device and the printer. The printer which I will be taking into consideration is HP.
