How to find the WPS Pin to link HP Office Jet Pro 8139e to windows for printing.

Question

I need a WPS Pin to link my HP Office Jet Pro 8139e. Where do I find it?

Answer 1

Hello,

This PIN is generated by the printer and you won't find it on Windows.

Some general steps to find it on the printer - it can vary from model to model.

On the printer’s touchscreen, go to:

Wireless / Network Settings > Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), then look for PIN.

If you cannot find, contact HP support.

Answer 2

On HP printers that support WPS PIN, the PIN is provided by the printer itself, not by Windows.

Typical places to find the WPS PIN on an HP OfficeJet‑class printer are:

1. Printer control panel
   • On the printer’s touchscreen or control panel, open the Wireless or Network menu.
   • Look for a Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or Wi‑Fi Direct option.
   • Choose WPS (PIN). The printer will display an 8‑digit PIN on the screen.
   • Use that PIN in Windows when prompted.
2. Network configuration / wireless test page
   • From the printer’s control panel, open Setup or Network.
   • Print a Network Configuration Page or Wireless Test Report.
   • The WPS PIN is often printed on that report if the printer supports it.
3. Wi‑Fi Direct PIN (if using Wi‑Fi Direct printing)
   • If connecting via Wi‑Fi Direct instead of router WPS, enable Wi‑Fi Direct on the printer.
   • The printer will show a network name (SSID) and a password/PIN on the display or on a printed info page; use that when adding the printer in Windows.

After obtaining the PIN, add the printer in Windows 11:

1. On the Windows device, select Start → Settings → Devices → Printers & scanners.
2. Select Add a printer or scanner and choose the HP OfficeJet when it appears.
3. When Windows prompts for a PIN (WPS or Wi‑Fi Direct), enter the PIN shown on the printer.

If the printer does not show any WPS/Wi‑Fi Direct PIN options, consult the printer’s manual or HP’s support site for that exact model, as not all models expose WPS PIN in the same way.
