College Dorm Internet - impossible to get the printer connected wireless

First of all, let me say that I have 3 OfficeJet Pro 8600.  The printer of love.

Second, here is a part of the background of my situation:

Bought OJP8600 for son go to College.  In the dormitory, it is wireless which is encrypted.

WiFi@OSU is a front-end which feeds on the more robust secure portal, which leads to connect to osuwirless.

Can easily get its HP Pavilion on the osuwireless network.  Name of user and password... no sweat (through the secure portal).

But when I configured the printer... She grabs the WiFi@OSU router and he seems happy.  Problem is that computer of this son is on the osuwireless network.  When I try to select xxxwireless on the printer, I get an error of encryption or application not valid.  Duh.

Then... I'm guessing that a network administrator will need to add the printer?

I used a cable ethernet to connect to his laptop computer and that works.  Awkward, but works.  Suppose that I could also connect via USB, but also clumsy as it is to connect the wire whenever you want to print.

Thanks for bearing with me... here's my questions:

1. cannot get the HPDirect to work... maybe I don't understand what he does?  I can see the host name in internet connections, but can not get the phone to connect to anything mode other than "limited".

2. a BlueTooth adapter would be an option?  I know that my 8600 didn't BT resident.

Thanks for reading and your suggestions.

Hello

You try to open your printer can be used by everyone. The safest way is the use of USB cable.

Kind regards.
