What to do if your printer keeps asking for password

1. Identify and fix any printing problems

Before removing and reinstalling the printer, let’s make sure there are no other existing errors. Does the issue persist? Then further proceed by removing and reinstalling the printer.

2. Remove and reinstall the printer

Remove and Reinstall Printer Steps: Now that we removed the Device/Printer, the next step is to reinstall a new Printer and link it to an existing network. (You will see further in this article). We have just shown you how to add a new printer to an existing network without being mandatory to enter any password. Just by linking the new printer to the existing network credentials. If the steps above are not working in your case, or just seem like too much work for you, there is a suitable option of reinstalling the printer driver automatically using dedicated software as DriverFix.

3. Solution for Wi-Fi printers

In case you have a Wi-Fi printer, connected to your PC through Wifi, we have a very quick and innovative solution. Just make sure your computer is connected to the wireless network from where you need to retrieve the printing password. Now, wait for the printer to print a document.  It can take some time, so you may need to wait for a few minutes. The Printer Information Page should now be printed. Right in the page middle, below the blue icon you can see the name of the printer and the printer password written under The Wifi Direct Password. We hope our suggestions helped you.
