So maybe something really has changed.
I have a Canon Selphy CP1200 printer here and I can print from a Jolla1 and Xperia X using the Canon-PRINT app via a Wifi-Direct connection.
But with an Xperia XA2 and Android 11 (Android app support) this is not possible. The Canon app always complains about deactivated WiFi.
Would you like to change that? A yes then leads to the Android settings, where “Use WiFi” is set to off. You can turn this on but it is not saved permanently. If you go back and go into the settings again, the switch is back to off.
Under Install Certificates there is also an item Wi-Fi Direct but it is grayed out-
(What I also observed is that the Canon app can no longer access the SD card on the Xperia-X (permissions are missing), which is still possible with the Jolla1.)
I understand that the Android support of Jolla1/Xperia X is fundamentally different to that of the XA2 and later. But, i would have hoped for an improvement with the newer versions of the ASUP ;-).
