printing over wireless solutions?


I'm curious as to what solutions people use to secure printing over wireless connections. SSH tunneling? OpenVPN?

Thanks.

My wireless is encrypted with WPA, so that's secured.
My cupsd.conf is set up so that it only responds to requests from IPs on my LAN.
My firewall doesn't allow incoming connections from the internet.
That's it.

My wireless is WEP so I use OpenVPN to protect it. All raw wireless traffic is blocked from access to anything and only VPN traffic can get to either the internal LAN or out to the internet. Also use it for remote access.
