Printer is installed on network, but I cannot connect to computer without the WPS Pin on the printer.  Where is it?

WPS pin is a function (where available) of the router to provide the pin number.

 

That said, I do not find that this model supports WPS connection.

Specifications > Connectivity

Ports
1 Ethernet; 1 Wireless 802.11b/g/n; 1 RJ-11 Fax
Wireless capability
Yes, built-in WiFi 802.11b/g/n

 

If the issue is not a WPS pin number but instead is an initial password to connect, look inside the printer - open the front panel on the printer - information is located (likely) in the left side right on the opened panel or just inside the printer.

I found someone's post recommending that after I ask the computer to find available printers, the WPS code appears on the printer screen.  It did.  Why this isn't in the instructions, I don't know.

Thanks for suggestions.

OK - good news.

Never heard of WPS pin showing up in this manner.

Interesting.

Happy Printing.

 

Edits - Updated Content - Clarification - First Time PIN setup

 

Earlier I mistakenly called the "first time" PIN an "initial password" - wrong name  (though the location noted in the post is correct) - calling it the wrong name is misleading to the purpose and intent of the PIN.

 

This is not a WPS Pin that @Lawson_1957  mentions as having found elsewhere,

That said,

The setup PIN designator is an important part of the "first time" connect and use steps for some printers.
