Bobo, can you tell me exactly how to use wifi direct from my dell PC running win10 to a wifi direct printer? Thanks
It is printer specific. I posted a link to the manual for my HP 7520. Page 49 tells how to use WIFI Direct with THAT printer. It may or may not be the same with a different printer.
Here is the section from the manual:

Wireless Direct
You can print directly to the printer wirelessly, without a wireless router, from your wireless-enabled computers
and mobile devices with Wireless Direct.
To get started with Wireless Direct printing
? Turn on Wireless Direct from the control panel.
? From the Home screen, touch the Wireless icon.
? If Wireless Direct is turned off, touch Settings.
? Touch Wireless Direct, touch On (No Security) or On (With Security).
? If you turn on security, only users with the password can print wirelessly to the printer. If you turn off
security, anyone with a Wi-Fi device within Wi-Fi range of the printer can connect to the printer.
? Touch Display Name to display the Wireless Direct name.
From your wireless computer or mobile device, search for and connect to the Wireless Direct name, for example:
HP-Print-xx-Photosmart-7520.
After you connect to Wireless Direct, you can use the installed printer software or a printing app for mobile
devices to print to the printer.
Your printer can have a wireless connection to a wireless network and provide a Wireless Direct connection at
the same time.
A maximum of five clients (computers or mobile devices) can connect to the wireless direct signal at a time.
