How well do the printers work anyway wirelessly?  Depending on the service 
advertisement protocols and printing protocols used, the client types, your 
authentication requirements (since most printers don't do 
WPA2-Enterprise/802.1X) and your subnetting/address assignment scheme, I wonder 
how successful people are at actually getting these things to work anyway.
