Just to poke at Lee, we're implementing new time clocks again, and the new ones aren't in much better shape then the printers.
The clock itself can be configured for wired Ethernet or wireless (WiFi) connection using standard WPA, WPA2, WEP or ‘open’ authentication protocols. It does not support certificate-based enterprise WiFi authentication protocols (such as EAP, LEAP & PEAP) or WiFi networks that require secondary acknowledgment of terms of service after connecting. Clocks use “secure https://” communication protocol (port 443). Clocks initiate all communication to Host server, so no need to open your network to any inbound communications initiated at the clocks.

I came from the corporate world a couple of years ago, and there is a similar need in business. We sometimes just had to say “no” because sometimes just a temp/quick thing violates policy that may be tied to law (security policies related to Sarbanes Oxley, for example). Or, depending on who you asked, you went out of your way to set up a laptop with the printer directly connected and acting as a temporary print server (not proud of it, but when a CxO asks, you jump).

If this was a common need in business, then I would expect someone like HP to build it in. I suspect however, that this is one of those edge-cases where EDU's act differently than business, but use business features with 1.x. On your open network, couldn't you use Cisco's built-in device profiling/policy classification to drop it into a different vlan (no need for radius) and avoid routing tricks? You could drop it into the same network as .1x. Again, if this is just a temp/quick thing - "popping up" a PSK WLAN on a couple of AP's using an AP Group (in Cisco terms) is two minutes of work. Far less time then trying to convince HP (or others) to add .1x support.

We don’t have or want a PSK WLAN, and don’t want to pop them up either. Single open network is a guest network, would have to change how it works and do some routing tricks to let printers work from behind it. We don’t do RADIUS attributes either to drop into different VLANs. All environments aren’t the same and .1X support for business devices in business settings seems appropriate. -Lee Lee Badman Wireless/Network Architect ITS, Syracuse University 315.443.3003 (Blog: http://wirednot.wordpress.com) From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Sessler Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 12:57 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Annual Exercise in Frustration: Printers that do wireless 1x? Lee, I'm curious about the need to be on 1.x. Is there something compelling that can't be accomplished using PSK, or even an open network that 1.x can? If the printer supports IPPS or other SSL/TLS encrypted communication channel, then does 1.x matter especially in a temp/quick situation? Just my quick thought would be to drop it into a open, wep, or psk, and if required, use device profiling/policy classification to drop into desired VLAN.

If the cost of an outlet was more than the cost of a decent printer it'd be an issue. Otherwise, the cost of the outlet is incidental to the cost of providing the service and the 'value add'.
