So my Pass / WEP key has to be setup in the printer as well? (If I read this right)

Is the printer connected to the router with a cable or is it connected wireless? If via cable, there's no worries about a key because traffic between it and the router isn't encrypted. If its only connection to the router is wireless you've had to already put the key in at some time or nobody would be able to print to it. This was probably done when you first set up the printer.

You may want to try uninstalling/reinstalling the printer on the laptop. You should probably download the latest installer from here (works on Xp, Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit, Win7 32-bit, Win7 64-bit, Win8 32-bit, and Win8 64-bit):

File Name: mast-win-mg4100-1_1-ucd.exe
OS: Windows 8, Windows XP, Windows Vista (x64), Windows Vista, Windows 7 (x64), Windows 7, Windows 8 (x64)
