        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.
