My printer is already connected to the router. I want to connect my laptop to the printer. It asks for a WSP PIN . I have no idea what that number is. So, I ask again; Where is that number? What does it look like? How many digits, etc.?

Right. Got all that. However, when I go into "set up new printer" it asks for a WPS PIN.  So, back to my original question; Where do I find this number? Please answer THAT question.
