Can I connect the HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 directly to my phone or tablet without a router?

Yes, you can use Wi-Fi Direct to connect a computer or mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet directly to the printer wirelessly without connecting to an existing wireless network. You may need HP software installed on your computer or mobile device to use Wi-Fi Direct, and more information is available at 123.hp.com/setup.
