There are security concerns with bending a device over and spreading it wide open to wireless signal.

The wired ethernet methods do exist but are locked down to trigger vendor lock in and make bank for hp/lexmark/etc in support contracts

I think my confusion / bafflement is built a bit on the fact that we're able to do this with the internet. I'm constantly receiving massive amounts of data over wireless signal from all around the globe, and it's generally regarded as safe to do so. How hard could it be to set up pretty much the exact same thing with a standardised interface / protocol over local wifi?
