If you're talking campus-owned devices, I (thankfully) haven't had a need
to do this yet. Hopefully it stays that way, though I'm kind of expecting a
request for this for the Spring new student check-in line (I'll be watching
other responses for someone to suggest a model that works well).
If you're talking student devices, I still feel like the best answer is to
make available a strong printer gateway solution via a product like
PaperCut, and heavily promote this option while at the same time
discouraging students from bringing any printer at all, even the wired
variety.

I've noticed recently a few printers have actually shipped with zero
hardwire connectivity of any kind - no ethernet, no USB, nothing. This
lends support to my ongoing theory that, for the most part, printer
manufacturers view wireless not as a general networking connectivity, but
as a drop-in replacement for those pesky USB cables that are never quite
long enough. I strongly suspect that until someone makes the rounds with a
large bat with ENTERPRISE WIFI spelled out in nails on one end, the
situation isn't likely to change.

Hello to the group. Has been a while since I last looked and got
frustrated
_http://wirednot.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/hey-printer-
makers-you-realize-that-its-2013-right/_
so throwing it out there in case anyone on the list has found devices that
have caught up with the times.
The question: has anyone found- and put into service- a business-grade
printer
with a wireless interface that will do 802.1x auth and WPA2 encryption (no
preshare security stuff)? Same same for projectors, but printers are the
more
interesting paradigm for my use case right now.
Thanks,
