What to do first
Wait for WPS to finish. If it fails, restart the WPS process or connect using the normal Wi-Fi setup method.
- Start WPS on your router if you have not already done so.
- Keep the printer powered on and near the router.
- Wait for the WPS attempt to complete.
- If WPS fails, restart the printer's wireless setup process.
- Use the HP app or standard Wi-Fi password setup if WPS continues to fail.
- Make sure the wireless function is not disabled on the printer.
When this can be normal
This is normal while WPS pairing is in progress.
When to stop troubleshooting
Stop using WPS if your router does not support it or pairing repeatedly fails.
Parts or products that may help
Only replace parts when the light pattern and official guidance support it. Some lights indicate setup or software states, not broken hardware.
- No replacement part is recommended from this light pattern alone. Troubleshoot the device state first.
