I am trying to install a HP OfficeJet 250 and do not have my original paperwork with PIN number. How can I proceed

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
  4. Status or Network report:  Press the Info button or scroll and find the network report


Watch the reset video. After resetting, you generally have 2 hours to complete the setup.

Many HP and other OEM printers have problems with the router when the router has two bands and both bands have the same name (SSID). Log into the modem and rename one of the bands. Alternately, contact your ISP and have them rename a band.



If English is not your native language or if you wish to get additional information not covered below, then use the HP and Microsoft support assistants. The latest HPSA supports 36 languages and can be downloaded here. Microsoft's AI assistant is in the latest Windows 10 and 11 releases and there are instructions here on how to enable the AI. Microsoft's AI assistant (Copilot) has a microphone button and supports natural language processing.

Let me know if you have a flex system (Wi-Fi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated for routers.
