I'll speak in defense of wired ports... I spent an hour today working with a client's wireless printer (hp p1102w), trying to move it between two networks and troubleshoot why a vendor's citrix implementation wouldn't work with it. Port forwarding was working fine (the printer would politely decline and reset itself whenever he sent a job).

But a Godawful pain in the backside switching subnets - you can't manually change both a static IP and an SSID at the same time on it. So change the SSID, find the IP, redirect the port forwarding. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Grr.

Turns out to be on a list of printers citrix doesn't like. Something about HP dropping PCL for "Host-based printing" - a tech where pages are built on the computer and sent raster. Unfortunately, the vendor didn't know this, thought "any hp printer should work", and was just firing off old HP drivers, albeit methodically. Sigh.
