This is kind of a silly question, but is there a way to use a wireless
printer with Airbears? Thanks!

How timely. A faculty person was asking the exact same question to me
today. Thanks for the reference back, Ian. I'll pass on the consensus to him though I'm sure I won't get a happy retort back.

AirBears authentication controls access to the rest of the campus network, including other parts of AirBears. If all you want to do is access your printer via wireless from other wireless devices in the same building as your printer, then all you may need to do is tell your printer to associate to AirBears. I don't know how well this will work, if at all, and make no guarantees that it will work in the future. The AirBears FAQ[1] states that the service is not suitable for providing services, such as a printer. As stated in the above thread and the FAQ, AirBears is not a replacement for the wired network. AirBears does not have all of the features available on the wired network for supporting things like printers. It is designed for transient use. So while some limited use of a wireless printer with AirBears may be technically possible, it isn't supported. I advise against using the above configuration under these conditions.
