Lost printer connection and tried to setup after an uninstall. I receive error "PIN is not correct" and setup will never continue. Printer will not connect or print even with USB connected and detected via Windows.

Hi @PoppyCharles,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
I understand that you are facing issues with the PIN incorrect error.
I believe you are trying to connect to the wi-fi direct network of the printer and it's asking for the wi-fi direct password.
Try the default password as 12345678.
If it doesn't work then provide the below details:
- What's the Wi-Fi light status on the Printer(Blinking or Steady)?
- Could you share the screen where it's asking for the password?
Follow the steps mentioned on this website to set up the printer:- click here
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
