Hi @1jcrabbit,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To find the WPS PIN of your printer, you can follow these general steps:

Method 1: Check the Printer's Control Panel

Power on your printer and make sure it is connected to your network.

Access the printer's control panel: Depending on your printer model, look for a menu button or touchscreen display.

Navigate to Wireless or Network Settings: Look for an option related to wireless setup or network settings. You may need to consult your printer's manual for specific instructions on navigating the menu.

Find the WPS PIN: In some cases, the WPS PIN may be displayed directly on the printer's control panel under the wireless or network settings. It might be labeled as "WPS PIN" or similar.

Method 2: Check the Printer's Documentation

1. Consult the Printer Manual: If you have the printer manual or setup guide that came with your printer, check there. Look for a section related to wireless setup, network configuration, or WPS setup. The WPS PIN may be listed in this section.

Method 3: Print Network Configuration Page

1. Print a Network Configuration Page: Many printers allow you to print a configuration page that includes details about the network settings, including the WPS PIN.
   • On most printers, you can print a network configuration page by navigating through the printer's control panel menu. Look for an option like "Reports" or "Network Configuration."

Method 4: Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS): Enter the IP address of your printer into a web browser to access the printer's EWS. The IP address can usually be found by printing a Network Configuration Page.

Navigate to Wireless Settings: Look for a section related to wireless setup or network settings in the EWS.

Find the WPS PIN: The WPS PIN may be listed under wireless or security settings in the EWS.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
