    I have managed to install the drivers it seems but I am missing the very important how to 'connect' this wireless unit. As you see I have installed this 3 times looking for the key. Looks like I am a bit rusty in the linux realm.

    SOLVED: I thought I would do a reboot waiting for a response, and viola, we have wireless printing.
