How is your network setup? You could do something like:

   -------------
   |wirelessnet|
   -------------
      | IPSec
   ---------
   |gateway|
   ---------
      |IPv4
 ------------   ---------
 | Ethernet |-->|gateway|->internet
 ------------   ---------

And only have the wireless hosts do IPSec to a gateway. Or are your
printers themselves wireless?
