802.1x and printers

I want to setup my wireless LAN with WPA and that requires 802.1x authentication. I know how to set it up with a PC but how can I set this up on wireless printers? We have like 20 wireless printers and we are going to be using wireless bar code scanners soon. How will all of this work with 802.1x authentication. We have 1200 AP and the Cisco ACS. Should I set the printers up on another vlan if I can’t get them to work with 802.1x authentication?

Please help

Chris

depending on the age of the wireless printer, they may not support any 802.1X supplicants.If they do not support 802.1x, I would do as you suggested and put them on another VLAN and use "ACL MAC Authentication" with your ACS radius server.
