The WPS PIN for an HP printer is an 8-digit code generated by the printer during the wireless setup process. This PIN is used to securely connect the printer to a Wi-Fi network by entering it into your router’s WPS setup interface[1][2][3].
To find the WPS PIN on your HP printer:
– If your printer has a display screen, press the **Wireless** button, go to **Settings → Network Settings → Wi-Fi Protected Setup**, and select the **WPS PIN** option. The printer will then show the 8-digit PIN on the screen[1][3][4].
– For printers without a display screen, the WPS PIN might be printed on a label on the back or bottom of the printer. Alternatively, pressing and holding both the **Wireless** and **Information** buttons simultaneously will print a network configuration page, which may include the WPS PIN[4].
– You can also use the HP Smart app on your smartphone or computer to access the printer’s network settings and print a configuration page where the WPS PIN may be listed[4].
Note that the WPS PIN is not your Wi-Fi password; it is a temporary code specifically used for pairing the printer with the router. Also, you usually only have about 90 seconds to enter the PIN after it is generated before it expires[1].
In summary, the WPS PIN is an 8-digit code generated by the HP printer during setup, accessible via the printer’s wireless menu or configuration page, and used to connect the printer to your wireless router securely[1][2][3][4].
