Where do I find the pin on my printer to connect a new printer?

Hi @JP11111,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be happy to help you! 

 

The PIN required to connect your HP OfficeJet Pro 8035 All-In-One Printer to a new network or device is typically part of the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) process. Here’s how to find the PIN and use it:

 

Finding the WPS PIN

  1. Printer Control Panel:
    • On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Network or Wireless settings menu.
    • Look for an option like Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS.
    • Select PIN and the printer will display a WPS PIN on the screen.

Using the WPS PIN

Connecting via Router:

  • Access your router's WPS settings. This can usually be done by logging into your router's web interface (refer to your router's manual for the specific IP address and login details).
  • Find the WPS section and select the option to add a new device using a PIN.
  • Enter the WPS PIN displayed on your printer's screen.

Connecting via HP Smart App:

  • Open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device.
  • Click on the Add Printer button and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • When prompted, select the WPS PIN method and enter the PIN displayed on your printer's screen.
  • You may also refer to this document

 

Printing a Network Configuration Page (Optional)

If you need to verify the network details or find other information about your printer’s network settings, you can print a Network Configuration Page:

  1. On the Printer:
    • Navigate to the Network or Wireless settings menu.
    • Look for an option to Print Network Configuration Page or something similar.
    • Print the page, which will include various network details, including the IP address, SSID, and other configuration information.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Ensure that your printer and the device you are trying to connect are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • If the WPS method is not working, you can try connecting the printer using the traditional Wi-Fi setup process through the HP Smart app or the printer's control panel.
  • If the printer does not display the WPS PIN, refer to the printer's user guide or HP’s support website for specific instructions.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
