where is the WPS pin located on my  Direct  lazer jet pro MFP M283fdw  printer

WPS is used to connect the printer to the router.  

I think you want the Wi-Fi direct password so you can print directly to the printer.  Is that correct?

 

To connect the printer to the router, use the PIN

The location of the PIN on an HP printer can vary depending on the model. Here are some common places to look:


  1. On a sticker: Many HP printers have a sticker on the back, bottom, or inside the cartridge access area with the PIN and other default credentials.
  2. On the printer display: If your printer has a display, you can find the PIN under the wireless settings or WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) settings.
  3. In the user manual: The PIN is often listed in the printer's user manual or documentation that came with the device




If admin (Admin) and 12345678 or the above PIN do not allow login, then get a network status printout or ask Microsoft's Copilot

For Wi-Fi direct printing there is no username, you just need the printers Wi-Fi password that comes from the network status printout.

 

This video shows how to connect to the router: M283fdw
Wi-Fi Direct is explained on page 41 of the User Manual, this Wi-Fi setup avoids configuring the router
