What does WPS rely on, and for what reason do you need it?

WPS is short for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. You need the WPS PIN to connect your computer to the HP printer while using Wi-Fi Direct, or for connecting the printer to a router for the WPS PIN connection method.

Using a "WPS button" to associate your HP printer

Once you enable Wi-Fi Direct on your HP printer, click the Network icon on your computer.

Now, select the network SSID with the printer model and 'Wi-Fi Direct' mentioned.

If the computer prompts for a PIN, you can find it on the printer's display or the sheet printed by the printer.

Now, if you are using the WPS PIN method for the Wi-Fi setup, your router should be WPS-enabled.

Once you enable the WPS PIN feature on your printer, a PIN will be displayed or printed by the printer.

Now, go to the router's web setup page and enter this PIN in the Wi-Fi credentials field to establish the connection between the router and your printer.
