@Ivan2003, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're having trouble reconnecting your HP printer to your laptop after removing it, and you're unable to find your setup guide or the WPS PIN. No worries, I'll guide you through the steps to get your printer connected again.
Option 1: Find the WPS PIN on the Printer
Most HP printers display the WPS PIN on the printer's control panel during the wireless setup process.
- Turn on your printer.
- On the printer control panel, go to:
- Settings > Network Setup > Wireless Settings > Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
- Select WPS PIN. The printer will display an 8-digit PIN.
- Enter this PIN on your computer when prompted during the printer setup.
Option 2: Reinstall the Printer Using HP Smart App
If you can't find the WPS PIN, the easiest way to reconnect is using the HP Smart app:
- Download and install the HP Smart app: HP Smart
- Open the app and click Add Printer.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to Wi-Fi.
- The app will guide you through connecting without needing the WPS PIN.
Option 3: Reset Network Settings (if needed)
If your printer isn’t showing up or won’t connect:
- On the printer, go to Settings > Network Settings > Restore Network Defaults.
- Then try reconnecting using the HP Smart app again.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
