Hi there all,
I have 2 interface on my LAN side of OpnSense
one is the cable LAN
one is the WiFi LAN
The printer is installed on the cable LAN.

When my PC have the cable I can print.
When my PC have only WiFI connection it can't print... but I can open the printer integrated webserver.

The firewall log give me all green on the printer IP.

Anyone have some ideea please ?
Thanks in advance
Denis

First guess:
You can reach the GUI via IP, but the printer is connected with WSD working in printers subnet only.

Thanks for the answer
I just read something about WSD... but I don't really understand witch is the diference between normal PC ethernet interface and printer WSD.

My printer is connected via ethernet cable and have IP in the format 192.168.1.xxx (Lan_Cable)
My wifi lan have the format 192.168.1.xxx. (Lan_WiFi)

So if my pc is connected via cable, I can print.
But if is connected via WiFi can not print... but I cand access the printed webserver, so I can see it.
Is there something more that I must do in order to have printing service from a LAN to the other LAN please ?

Thanks a lot again

I have solve the issue :-)

I uninstalled the printer and then I installed it via TCP/IP and no via normale Windows procedure (no WSD I think)

Thanks for the help :-)

WSD is this "find my printer" feature in Windows. As said, without further config this will only function inside the printers subnet.
