Does iPhone 5 support "WiFi Direct"

I want to print to my Brother printer from my iPhone 5 but I do not have a wireless network. The printer says that I can configure a wireless network between the printer and moblie devise (iPhone) with out an access point. The instruction first ask if the iPhone supports "WiFi Direst"? Does the iPhone 5 support Wi-Fi Direct? If not, does it support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)? If it support WPS does it support "one push configuration?

iPhone 5

(look at the first response in this link, as it pertains to the iphone 5).



And it does not support WPS (I suspect because of security issues).
