WPA is one of the WiFi Protected Access encryption protocols.  WPA currently comes in the original (outdated) WPA2 and soon WPA3 forms.  It has to do with your WiFi password when attempting to connect to a WiFi network.

 

If the printer is complaining about WPA then you either mis typed the password or selected the incorrect WPA password setting when attempting to connect to the network.

 

A way to confirm the problem is tied to the password is to temporarily turn it off for your network.  Make sure your printer can connect.  Then turn the WPA feature back on again.  The printer connection profile needs to match the WiFi network configuration or else the connection will fail.
