How MR clients will access Printer seating in the Wired VLAN

[Naresh_Bhardwaj]

We have printer installed in the Wired VLAN and we are using different Vlan for wireless.

Only users connected through Wire can access the printer at present.

How we can extent the printer services to all wireless clients in the network.

The ssid is in bridge mode?

Check the firewall for that ssid that its allowing traffic to the printer subnet.

[Naresh_Bhardwaj]

Yes it is in bridge mode.

And the ssid firewall?

Check if it allows the traffic to that vlan. It could be blocked by a deny any local lan rule

If you wish to auto-discover printers on mobile devices you will need to activate Bonjour forwarding on your SSID's.

Step 1: Make sure the VLAN where the printers are residing are also allowed on the switchports leading to your AP's.

Step 2: Go to the page Wireless -> Access Control and make sure the correct SSID is selected.

Step 3: Near the bottom of that page you will see the option to enable Bonjour Gateway, enable it and then you will have the option to add a service.  So add description printers, add the service VLAN (which is the VLAN where the printers are in and then don't forget to enable at least the printers service.

@Naresh_Bhardwaj can the wireless users contact anything in the wired VLAN, or is the problem only limited to printer communication?
