Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

When I try and access Advanced Settings in the HP Smart app it asks me for the PIN displayed on the label in the cartridge access area. I type it in and it tells me my PIN is invalid.

I have rebooted both the printer and my laptop, I've reinstalled HP Smart, I've checked the 8-digit PIN. I'm out of ideas?

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

Here's how to find the PIN (example):

Else, could you try "12345678" for the PIN?

Hope that helps!
