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
- 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:
- 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.
