    WPS PIN for printer installation


    My canon pixma mx492 worked just fine for well over a year, but today suddenly won't connect. In my various troubleshooting I uninstalled the printer and then rebooted everything to reinstall it. The reboot of the computer involved a Windows 10 update. After this reboot an update, and after previously updating the printer driver, the computer was able to find the printer on the network, but when I click "add device" I am suddenly asked to enter a WPS pin. This should not happen, as this pin should only be used to connect the printer to the wireless network, which was already done via WPS and the physical button. Furthermore, my printer does not have a WPS pin! It can only connect using the WPS button! I have even called Canon and their experts agree that Windows should not be asking for this number. What can I do to get around this dialogue and finish reinstalling my printer?

    :)

    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.
