Lost WiFi password for deskjet printer

[Ythansgirl]

Hi, 

I have moved house and lost box that had the wireless password for my deskjet 2544

Is there any way to find out the WiFi password for my printer. Need to print off forms for a job application and can't. 

It's an older printer so needs a WiFi connection to phone/computer.

This has not helped me, where do I find the wps password. I have an old printer with no screen for messages. And requires a direct wireless connection to the laptop. 

I have no paperwork for the laptop, the box and info was lost in a move.

Thanks for informing us it is the "WPS" password.

See if this helps.

If an Enter the “WPS PIN” for your printer message displays, the printer is attempting to connect to the computer with Wi-Fi Direct.

No, I don't think I need the WPS pin. 

I need the printers personal network security key, to set up a link with printer to my laptop. 

I have tried typing the words WPS PIN. into the laptop WiFi code box and nothing happens just says its incorrect. And no my printer has not printed any sort of codes to me
