I'm having to use a Realtek dongle to connect to my Printer from my PC. I manage to connect to the printer with the wireless, but I need to add the printer to my list of devices in order to use it. I tell the computer to search for the printer, it finds the printer, but then it asks for a specific 8 digit pin number which my printer responds to by printing off the pin on a sheet of paper saying that it is only valid for 90 seconds, after entering the pin within the time limit and clicking continue, it comes back with "that didn't work". I'm using an HP Deskjet 2630 All-in-One Printer for reference, there's no touch screen or USB cable or port on it.

Hi,

On Windows 10, when trying to connect the Wi-Fi Direct network, click "Use Security Password instead of WPS" right below the PIN Code area, then type the security password of your printer and it should connect.
