Cannot connect to printer

Hi @EagleDaddy,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you're trying to find the WPS pin for your OfficeJet 5255 printer, you typically have a couple of options:

 

On the Printer: Some printers have the WPS pin printed on a label or displayed on the control panel. Check the printer's documentation or look for any labels on the printer itself.

Printer Configuration Page: You can often print a configuration page from the printer itself that includes network information, including the WPS pin. To do this, follow these steps:

  • On the printer control panel, navigate to the Setup, Network, or Wireless menu.
  • Look for an option like "Print Network Configuration Page," "Wireless Test Report," or similar.
  • Once you've printed the page, look for the WPS pin in the network settings section.

Router Settings: Some routers generate a WPS pin when you initiate the WPS connection process. You can usually find this pin in your router's settings. However, not all routers use a pin for WPS, so check your router's manual or settings interface to see if this is an option.
