If the printer has wireless you can connect the printer to any access
point. That is the same as plugging in a cable so that wouldn't limit access.
However bridging it to the network doesn't limit access either unless the
bridge has some sort of security set up. I was just skimming this thread but I
think to use pfSense you'd have to have the printer on a different subnet or in
some way have pfSense do the routing so it could have firewall rules set up.
