I am trying to use my printer HP DeskJet 2600. It says I need a pin which I can find on my router but I don't have a router. I use my hotspot off of my phone to connect to wifi and printing. I never had this issue before now it is asking my for a pin. How do I reset this or tell the connection that I don't have a router?

Hi,

You cannot print with a Hotspot, a such provide internet tethering and not local networking which is required for printing.

 

You may use Wi-Fi Direct instead to connect your device to your printer:

To turn on Wi-Fi Direct for your printer, press and hold the wireless and resume buttons till a Wi-Fi Direct icon is shown on the led screen, the icon looks like a printer& a cell phone icon.

 

To find the Wi-Fi Direct passwod print a WiFi Direct gude by holding the Information (i) and Resume buttons till it print the report.
