I think you're asking how to connect directly from the computer to the printer and not go through the router.  If so you can get the PIN or password as follows:

 

Get a network report as described on page 36 of the users manual

From the printer control panel,

touch ( Wireless ), and then touch ( Settings ). 

Touch Print Reports
Touch Wireless Test Report.

 

If you are looking for the WPS pen to connect to the router then read this article

https://www.reddit.com/user/123hpsetupprinter/comments/akl0ed/solutions_to_find_the_wps_pin_on_hp_en...

 

 

The wireless test report provides information about the printer status, hardware (MAC) address, and IP address. If the printer is connected to a network, the test report displays details about the network settings

 

Use the SSID (name) and the PIN or password to connect using WiFI direct.  Make sure the printer is in WiFi direct mode.

 

If instead, if you want to connect the printer to the modem / router let me know or just watch this video
