HP DeskJet 4152e All-in-One Printer

I have not used my printer for a couple a months, except to scan. I purchased new ink and the printer is not working correctly. I have tried to uninstall and re-install. When I go thru setting up the printer, HP does not recognize the printer pin #, why? what can I do about it. It is the same printer/scanner I have been using for a couple of years, at least. I purchased it originally, this is not second hand. Even the free app HP Smart App does not work as it did before. I have never had so much trouble with HP Products!

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 when using the router type of connection.
