  The only time my printer is turned on are the few times I use it.

  I will pick up the same wireless signals at home all the time.  There are
three or four that no matter the time of time of day or night there's a
signal.  (PW protected).
  Comcast as two signals (other than from my router) I get all the time,
one is PW protected users can access when away from home and the other is a
free city wifi signal.
  In my travels in some larger cities I would get a "Cable WiFi" signal and
scrolling through it would offer various cable companies, one being Comcast. 
I could access that with my Xfinity account I have set up on the phone and
use here or all over the count
   The only time I used the wifi on the phone would be if looking for
directions or booking a room.  Every motel I stayed at (no matter how small or
remote) had PW protected wifi and given the PW at check in.
   Some FF places have free customer wifi and most of those I could connect
while in a parking lot, if close enough to the building.  I used the clowns
free wifi a lot for directions/reservations without going into the building
or buying anything.  :)
