The HP Laser 107w printer supports Wi-Fi Direct by default, allowing you to connect directly to the printer without a wireless network. To set up Wi-Fi Direct:
1. Press and hold the Resume/Cancel button on the printer’s control panel for about 10 seconds until a network configuration report prints. The report will include the Wi-Fi Direct network name (SSID) and its password.
2. On your computer or mobile device, open Wi-Fi settings, find the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network (noted on the report), and connect using the printed password.
For connecting the HP Laser 107w to a Wi-Fi network (regular wireless setup):
– Use the HP Smart app or download the printer software from HP’s website at www.hp.com/support/laser100.
– Run the software and select wireless setup.
– The setup wizard may ask you to connect the printer to your PC via USB temporarily.
– Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password to connect the printer.
– Once connected, you can remove the USB cable and the printer will remain on your Wi-Fi network.
These steps are demonstrated in several videos:

Enabling and verifying Wi-Fi Direct can also be done by browsing to the printer’s IP (http://192.168.223.1) and enabling Wi-Fi Direct under the Network settings if needed, but it is enabled by default on this model ([HP Community source](https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Knowledge-Base/Enabling-HP-WiFi-Direct-for-HP-Single-Function-Laserjet/ta-p/7335755)).
In summary:
– Wi-Fi Direct is enabled by default; connect by joining the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct SSID using the password from the printed configuration page.
– For normal Wi-Fi network connection, use the HP Smart app or HP’s setup software on your PC, which may require a temporary USB connection.
