@Addy24, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding WPS PIN for HP Printers! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

The WPS PIN is a secure code used to connect your HP printer to your wireless network without manually entering your Wi-Fi network details like the SSID and password. "WPS" stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and it facilitates an easier way to connect devices to a network.

How to Find the WPS PIN

Printer Control Panel: The WPS PIN is often displayed on the printer's control panel. When your printer prompts you for the WPS PIN, check the screen for the displayed PIN.

Information Sheet: Some printers print an information sheet during setup. This sheet may include the WPS PIN.

Using the WPS PIN

Enter the WPS PIN: When prompted during the connection process on your laptop or other device, input the WPS PIN to establish the connection.

Validity: Remember that the WPS PIN is usually valid only for a short time, typically 90 seconds. If not entered in this time frame, you may need to generate a new PIN.  

 

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
