    WPS Pin needed for HP printer

    regardless if you push the manual button or turn it on in the modem/router settings, The OP wants to connect the printer, which means a simple retrieve the PIN CODE on the UNIT and enter it.

    There is no more to do.

    All I ever do is turn on WPS and connect a PC or printer and enter the PIN# in the discovered items list. The same list you find it and enter the encryption key from the network taskbar tray icon.

    I never had to mess with any printer itself to connect WPS. Hmmmmm.

    HP Printer asking for WPS PIN

    Hi Krishna,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are asked for WPS PIN while setting up the printer. Let me help you with the details. However, we would like to know the version of Windows that you are using. To check type:
    winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
    Enter.



    Ideally, you will get a prompt for WPS PIN if the Wi-Fi direct option is enabled on the printer. As you do not want to connect the printer using Wi-Fi, I would suggest you to disable the Wi-Fi direct option. To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:



    • If your printer has a touchscreen, touch the
      Wi-Fi Direct       icon to view the status. If the status is on, touch the
      Settings       icon to turn it off.
    • If your printer has a 2-line LCD display, go to
      Network       menu, select Wi-Fi Direct, and then select
      Wi-Fi Direct On/Off      . Use the arrow buttons to turn it off.


    Once you have done this, you will be able to setup the printer.



    However, you can download the drivers for the printer from
    HP ENVY 5000 All-in-One Printer series     and install them. Check the Recommended section to download and install the drivers.



    I would also suggest you to refer the article on
    HP Printers - USB Printer Setup (Windows)     to setup the printer using USB.




    In case you wish to setup the printer wirelessly, you can refer the article on

    An 'Enter WPS PIN' Message Displays During Printer Setup    .



    Let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    WPS PIN for printer installation

    I don't think you read my post clearly.

    The printer IS on the wifi network.

    Windows is STILL asking for a WPS PIN.

    The printer DOES NOT HAVE A WPS PIN. This is not an option. It doesn't exist. Yes, I've printed the network info from the printer. No such animal.

    I need WINDOWS to stop asking for a number that doesn't exist!
