wireless setup for Deskjet 3050

Don't ask me how but I managed to solve my problem of getting the wireless
to work on Ubuntu 11.10 I tried so many strategies that I cannot be sure
which one made the difference. Perhaps setting up a WPA2-PSK on the router
helped. The router then allowed me to set up a connection with the wireless
printer.
