HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, Unable to Connect via Wi-Fi

Hello,

I picked up this second-hand HP printer, but I can't connect it to Wi-Fi, despite all the instructions I've been able to find.
When I try to connect using the WPS method from the RED box, the search goes well, but the connection fails every time. I reset the printer's network settings to no avail.
I should note that when I plug in the network cable, it works perfectly.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you for your help

    Hello,

    From experience, I've often had issues with WPS on HP printers.

    Does this printer model have a small screen and allow for detecting nearby wifi networks and entering the password manually?

    Hello,

    I'm sorry for the late reply, but I wasn't notified of the message, despite checking the box for "receive replies by email."

    Yes, there is indeed a small screen and I have already tried entering the code manually, but the result is the same.

    Good evening,

    the driver is properly installed.

    I really don't see why it doesn't work.

    Just to clarify, I manage to get it working in "direct wireless" mode.

    In this case, it shows up in the list of my networks and I can connect to it. The problem is that I disconnect from my internet network, which is not very practical.
