Hi @renrus,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

The PIN number for the HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 printer is typically found on the printer's display screen during the wireless setup process. Here's how you can locate it.

 

  • Turn on the Printer: Ensure your printer is powered on.
  • Access Wireless Setup: On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Wireless or Network menu. This might be represented by a wireless icon.
  • Select Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Look for an option related to WPS or "Connect Wirelessly." If your router supports WPS, select it.
  • Retrieve the PIN: During this process, the printer should display a PIN on the screen. This is the PIN you need for connecting the printer to your wireless network.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
