I do not think the WPS button causes problems on other things.
I have used it to get WiFi connects to visitors smartphones, and
grand-children's tablets, without effecting any other devices in house
(WiFi to very old laptops elsewhere in house) or my (Ethernet
connected) printer.
They had problems entering the WiFi password on their screens.
Try it.
Regards and keep well.
I will give it a go and see what happens. The previous printer (HP
Photosmart 5220) had no problems connecting via both USB cable and/or
wifi to the desktop computer.
Both laptops worked with the wifi, again no problem. All I did, if I
remember, was turn on wifi on the printer, having used only USB for
ages. Then the laptops just worked. These so clever new printers are a
pain.

OK. I don't want to waste anyone's time any more. I have had a lot of
help and I have researched a lot on the web. To no avail. Fair enough, I
will just use this printer from my desktop for now, via the USB cable.
My laptop does not see it.
Meanwhile I will keep an eye out for another printer, not HP, to replace
it. And this one can go on the shelf and be forgotten.
So, lots of thanks and gratitude,
Neil
