How to connect WPS Pin to HP Printer
So, you have your printer all set up and ready to print. You’ve decided to go the wireless route: connecting your printer to the PC and queueing job from wherever you want. Neat. There’s just one problem: the printer is giving you an “enter the WPS PIN for your printer” message and refuses to connect to the PC or the router without it. You have no clue what this means and you’re getting slightly agitated. Not to worry, as it’s a common entry on the HP Printer Error Code list, and we’re about to explain everything to you.
WPS is short for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and it’s a really fancy way of describing a password that the PC/router demand from your printer in order to know there’s no funny business going on. The WPS pin is to the printer what the wireless password is to the router: just as you need the Wi-Fi key to connect a PC, smartphone or tablet to your router, you need the WPS pin to connect the HP printer to the router. And since you’re going wireless, it’s probably a good idea to check our guide on how to find HP printer IP address.
