A WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) PIN is an 8-digit code that allows wireless connection between two or more devices, such as a printer and a computer. When setting up an HP printer on a wireless network, you might be prompted to enter the WPS PIN to complete the setup. The WPS PIN can be found in the printers control panel or on the information sheet that was printed during setup. The location of the WPS PIN may vary depending on the printer model and brand, but it is usually found in the settings menu of the printers control panel. To find the WPS PIN on an HP printer, you can follow these steps:
- Open the control panel of the HP printer and tap the Settings > Wireless button.
- Find and click Wi-Fi Protected Setup in the control panel of the printer, and then choose WPS PIN.
- A WPS Pin will be generated on the printer. You should notice that the WPS pin will be there on the screen for 8-10 seconds.
Once you have the WPS PIN, you can enter it on your computer when prompted during the printer setup process. It is important to note that the WPS PIN is only valid for a short time, typically 90 seconds for most printers.
