Enter WPA / WEP on display screen - does not accept numbers (password)

[BinkyBoo]

I have just installed the Apple Time Capsule as my new router and am trying to get my printer to work with it.  I came to the part on the wizard screen on the printer where it is asking for the WPA / WEP and my password for my wifi/network is numbers.  It won't let me input the numbers on the screen, only letters. What do I do?

Greetings @BinkyBoo,

Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post. 

I understand that you are unable to connect your printer to the new router. Don't worry, I will be glad to help. 

Have you tried to setup the printer through USB and then converting it to wireless?

All HP printers work only on 2.4Ghz networks and not on 5Ghz networks. 

You can press the keys on the printer repeatedly to get the numbers entered on the printer. 

Alternately, you can setup the printer with the USB connection and then convert it to wireless. 

Please refer to this guided tool for assistance in converting USB to wireless.

Let me know if this helped.
