I have a new Power Shot SX530 HS and trying to get setup with my HP 7640 Envy printer via wi fi. I have tried to setup the printer as a new device and had no luck. I pick Print from wi fi printer, Add Device, Search for Acess Point and I get a message showing my network and it then says Search for Device and eventually it says Device Not Found. Am I missing something? I can get connected with my tablets and smartphone with no problem.
Thanks

Are you attempting to print directly from the camera to the printer via Wi-Fi? I don't think it works that way. You should transfer your images to a tablet, or PC, that is already setup and configured to use your printer.

That is not true. You cannot print directly to any Wi-Fi enabled printer.
Only certain wireless printers, just some of those made by Canon, are able to use the direct wireless connection. This allows you to print pictures without having to setup a wireless access point, and connecting to a PC. I should point out that image files printed in this manner are NOT able to be edited before being printed, which can be a disadvantage.
Ordinarily, you would download your image files from the camera to a PC, and then print your pictures from your PC to your printer.

Are both your camera and printer "PictBridge" enabled? They would need to be in order to print directly from camera to printer.

... from HP ENVY 7640 literature. You should be able to print from the majority of mobile devices currently on the market.

I suspect that "Wi-Fi Direct" could mean AirPrint, or it could mean just about anything, really. I see HP has their own proprietary "ePrint" technology, too. Lots of manufacturers do that to lock you in to their products.
