After installing the hplip, suddenly my printer stopped working. So I decided to connect my printer with wifi network instead of the USB port. But it wanted a WPS pin and I couldn’t find that pin anymore. Can anyone tell me how to find WPS pin on hp printer?
WPS connection may not need a pin. Does your printer support that?
Most printers have a way to reset the pin / passphrase to default. You could try to research that online, just include your printer model name or number. It should be listed somewhere on your printer.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) – WPS has two modes to connect devices together over a wireless connection. One is called “pushbutton” and the other is called “PIN”. Pushbutton is by far the easiest method. We will describe how to connect using the WPS pushbutton method, but not the PIN method.
For instructions on starting WPS on your printer consult your printer’s manual. However there are some conditions that need to be met in order to use WPS pushbutton mode:
Both your printer and wireless router must support WPS pushbutton mode. Consult your printer and wireless router manuals.
The wireless router must have a physical WPS pushbutton available.
Your network must use WPA or WPA2 security. Most WPS wireless routers will not connect using the WPS method if WEP or no security is used.
Most WPS wireless routers will not connect using the WPS method if you are using the manufacturer’s default for the network name and no security.
To connect your wireless printer to your wireless router using WPS:
Start the WPS pushbutton mode on your printer.
For instructions on starting WPS on your printer, consult your printer's manual.
Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
