How to connect to wireless printer

We have an AT&T mifi and a Verizon mifi. I have the AT&T mifi working with our HP wireless printer but am not able to get the Verizon to connect. I put the Verizon mifi password in the 'modify credentials' when it asks but it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

    I have and HP Laser jet P1102W connected wireless through my Jet Pack
    I will tell you that it took several tried to get it working correctly.
    First make sure you don't have anything else connected to your MIFI such as another router I did and I think the printer could not decide which on to connect to . After turning off the router and removing the printer from the computer I tried reinstalling and it worked.
    Make sure you go into printers setting and remove the printer before tring to reinstall it.

    It's possible they may be using different security protocols. For example, the printer may support WPA while the MiFi is using WPA2.

    I was told your better off to connect the printer to your computer when using Verizon mifi. I tried it too and it just didn't work.
