The **WPS PIN on a printer** is an 8-digit number used to connect the printer to a Wi-Fi network securely via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). To find the WPS PIN on most printers, especially HP models, you generally need to:
1. **Turn on your printer** and access its control panel or screen.
2. Navigate through the menu to:
**Settings → Network Settings → Wi-Fi Setup → WPS (PIN Code)**.
Selecting WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup will usually display the 8-digit PIN on the printer screen[1][3].
3. If your printer lacks a screen, check for a **sticker or label** on the back, bottom, or inside near the cartridges or paper tray—sometimes the WPS PIN is printed there[3].
4. During setup on your computer or mobile device, you will be prompted to enter this WPS PIN to complete wireless configuration[2].
For HP printers like the Envy 6000 series, the WPS PIN appears on the printer display when you start the WPS process from the wireless or network settings menu. If you can’t find the PIN, restarting the setup or using the HP Smart app for setup may help generate a new PIN[1][2][4].
**Key points:**
| Step | What to Do |
|—————————|———————————————————————————————|
| Turn on printer | Make sure the printer is powered on |
| Use printer menu | Go to *Settings > Network or Wi-Fi Setup > WPS (PIN Code)* to display the 8-digit PIN |
| Check physical labels | Inspect back, bottom, or inside near ink trays for printed PIN if no display |
| Enter PIN during setup | Input the 8-digit WPS PIN promptly on your computer or device—usually expires in ~90 seconds |
This PIN is specific per session and device, so if it expires, generate a new one by restarting the setup[2][3].
If you still cannot locate or access the WPS PIN, consult your printer’s user manual or use the official printer setup software/app for guided wireless connection steps.
