I am trying to finish the setup process for my printer. I have been prompted with the 'Find the printer PIN' popup. After entering my PIN i constantly get 'Invalid PIN code. Please try again.' Where do i go from here???
As the printer isn't registering, i am not receiving my ink refills. Please help!

Hi @Yorkieay,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
1. Verify the PIN Code
- Locate PIN Code:
- The PIN code is typically found on a sticker or leaflet included with the printer packaging.
- If you cannot find the PIN, check the printer's information sheet or quick start guide provided in the box.
2. Ensure Correct Entry
- Ensure that you are entering the PIN correctly. The PIN is case-sensitive and may include numbers and letters.
- Avoid confusing characters that look similar, such as 'O' (capital letter o) and '0' (zero).
3. Hard Reset of Printer
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
- Wait for about 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back in and turn the printer on.
4. Reconfigure Wireless Network
- On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Network Setup or Internet Setup menu.
- Restore the network settings to default by selecting Restore Network Settings.
- Use the HP Smart app on your Windows 11 device to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
5. Use HP Smart App
- Download and install the HP Smart app from the Windows Store.
- Open the HP Smart app and follow the on-screen instructions to add your printer.
- The app should guide you through the process of entering the PIN and connecting the printer to your network.
