How do I setup a WPS device?

I have a wireless printer that asks me to press the WPS button to permit it to pair. How do I do this with my Airport Extreme?

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

On your Mac......open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme

Click Edit in the smaller window that appears

Click the Base Station menu......example below, then click Add WPS Printer

When you select WPS Printer, choose the First Attempt option, as this substitutes for a button press when you click Continue.

If the printer is discovered, click Done, and you are done.
