Hey folks, I am looking to purchase a printer here very shortly. I think I would like to use a wireless wifi model, so that I can easily print from one of the many machines spread throughout the house. My question is, is anyone familiar with the security associated with such a set up? I'll admit I am not knowledgeable on the subject; would a wireless printer act like any of the myriad other IoT devices available on the market, and introduce a probable unpatchable access point within my wireless network? Is it possible to pin a wifi printer onto the guest network, and simply connect to that network from the other machines on wifi, and print when needed, then connect back to the main network?
Gerbils, feel free to educate me here, this is something quite a bit out of my element.
