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. -- Steve Yates ITS, Inc. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
