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.
