Note Ad hoc connections are now possible if the printer's wireless radio is in ad hoc mode. Press the Report Page button and verify on the HP Report page that the communication mode is ad hoc, the network name (SSID) is hpsetup, and the IP address is something other than 0.0.0.0. If not in ad hoc mode, you must access the EWS to change to ad hoc mode or reset the printer to the factory default settings.
