Hi @darbycrash,

 

I'd like to help!

 

WPS Pin or wireless password can be found on the router itself or you could reach the service provider for the same.

 

If you trying setup the with Wireless setup wizard, follow the below steps -

 

Connect the printer to the wireless network (printers with a touchscreen)

Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel to connect your printer to your local Wi-Fi network.

  1. Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router.

  2. Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.

  3. On the printer, select 

    Restore Network Defaults

     from the Wireless, Settings , or Restore Settings menu.
  4. Get the network name and password. Go to Find Your Wireless WEP, WPA, WPA2 Password for more information.

  5. Select Wireless Setup Wizard from the Wireless, Settings, or Network Setup menu.

  6. Select the name of your wireless network, and then enter the password.

  7. Once the printer connects to the network the wifi blue light stops blinking.

For wifi protected setup, follow the below steps -

 

Connecting the printer to a wireless network with WPS

Complete the network connection by putting the printer and the router in WPS setup mode. Once connected, install the HP software to wirelessly connect the printer to your computer or mobile device.

NOTE: 

Your network must use Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) security, and your router must support WPS. Google, eero, Luma, and Plume are some router brands that might not support WPS.

  1. Make sure your router has a WPS button or a button with the WPS icon .

    • If the router has a WPS button, do not press the button yet. Continue to the next step.

    • If the router does not have a WPS button, skip to the frequently asked questions in this document for options.

  2. Place the printer within range of the Wi-Fi router signal.

  3. Put the printer in WPS connection mode.

    • Printers with a touchscreen control panel: Open the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup, select Push Button, and then select Start.

    • Printers without a touchscreen control panel: Press and hold the Wireless  button for five seconds until the wireless light flashes. For Tango printers, press and hold the Wireless button and the Power button on the rear of the printer for five seconds until the blue bar flashes.

  4. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router for three to five seconds, or until the connection process begins.

  5. Return to the printer and check the status of the wireless light or bar.

    • If the light or blue bar stops flashing, the printer successfully connected to the network. Continue to the next step.

    • If the light is still flashing or turned off, the connection failed. Move the printer closer to the router, and then repeat these steps. If the connection still fails, continue to the frequently asked questions in this document.

  6. Make sure your computer or mobile device is on the same local wireless network you connected the printer to.
