?Agreed, unfortunately. This is really thorny territory. We provide USB cables and the backstory for why wireless printers aren't a good fit. This is one of the unfortunate aspects of running the dorms on centralized business-class Wi-Fi. It really isn't the same as your home environment, and estremely difficult to make so without plunging the whole thing into unmanageable chaos.
