I've never heard of printers having a password. Or are you saying she also gave you a wireless router ?

Is something asking for a USB key?

im not too sure as havent tried to do it before, but it connects thru wireless and is asking for a security key or passphrase or it says 'If you have a USB FLASHDRIVE with network settings, insert it now' of which i have neither...

The USB key thing sounds like WiFi Protected Setup. And the password it is asking for is your network's WPA2 password. When you setup your wireless network, did you specify a WPA2 password ? You need to use that password on every machine that joins the network.
