I have a printer I'm not using and I'd like to sell it. However, I connected it to my wireless network with WPS. I'm not sure how WPS works and whether the router transmits the wireless network password to the printer during setup. Is there any danger that my wireless network password could somehow be extracted from the printer? I know I could change my wireless password but it's a big hassle to change it on all of my devices and I'm not sure that's even something I need to worry about.

You have no need to worry, your password is quite safe, your printer will never talk..:)
