Mike,
What do you mean by bridge?
We deployed ten Zebra portable wireless printers (QL420 Plus models) a couple
years ago and they are sweet. Such little support is required that I sometimes
forget we have them. I spend more time on wired printers than these wireless
printers. I'm awestruck that they have been SO reliable.
We have one Z4M wireless printer that is for MIS that hasn't been a problem
either. It prints little so it's hard to say how it would perform in a
production setting.

2 fairly new Zebra label printers, both can attach to the System i either
wired or wireless. When attached wireless, labels print in fits and
starts.
For example, a 75-label run typically prints 20-25 labels, pauses 7-10
Jeff,
Not an answer to your question, but we tried printing wireless to a zebra
and gave up. It was just too unreliable.
Because we didn't take the investigation far enough, I can't say for sure
what part of the setup was a problem, but I remember thinking at the time
that we should invest in a better wireless bridge (we used one of the less
expensive ones we could find).
We also had problems keeping wireless client access sessions running about
the same time. This was solved for the most part by implementing new client
side wireless devices.
