The simple answer is that the key type is set up on your access point, so presumably your AP is set to Open and therefore your print server would also need to be. I have read that Open is more secure; no idea if this is true or not, I'm afraid.


Well, why don't you inform yourself how WEP Open Authentication works?

Shared supposedly performs some authentication using the SSID at the beginning which is vulnerable to attack.


Yeah, you could hardly show off more incompetence.
