what is a wpa password and where is it found?

[Domini108]

I guess i'll be redundant.  The WPA password request is stumping me.  I've looked everywhere.

I'm trying to get my printer to function without it, wirelessly.  I think if I get a cable that problem will

solve itself, but just out of sheer tenaciousness, I would like to know about that bugger, WPA, because I had the

same issue on my other HP printer and ended up with a cable.

Thanks!!!

The WPA password / passphrase is the password you assigned to your wireless network.
