I think you want to connect your iPad to unknown HP printer using WiFi Direct.


Get a printer network report. The PINs and Passwords should show up. Here is the important stuff from a typical printer report. The password shown in WiFi can be the printers PIN or the modem's password depending on how you connected to the modem. The printer can have two bands but the only one that is connected will show up.

The password or PIN should be displayed.,

 

Please provide the Product ID or Model name or the printer for better assistance
