Thanks for your input, Dave. So it does work as the poster whose comments
I read suggested. I suppose one must be particular about the bridge one
buys: looks like Linksys should be chosen over Dlink, at the least. Anyone
else tried this, and can can you report on hardware?

After I finished my initial post, I realized I had forgotten to mention
those wireless print server adaptors and to ask whether these might have
capabilities to allow using a wired NIC as wireless. I guess they be
geared toward listening on a certain port, so that could interfere. But
they must be capable of broadcasting to dhcp servers for an adress, and be
capable of transferring data into and out of the printer's ethernet
port--for those printer's that have one.
