        except Network Printer.

        And does this network printer have a gateway set.. I have seen it countless times on customer sites from very small.. To huge corps with hundreds of vlans - printers don't have gateway set. So no you can not talk to it from another vlan.

        Had 1 customer - hundreds of printers in the building. Not freaking 1 of them had a gateway.. Only reasons printers worked was of proxy arp set on their core switch..

        Bet you beer - printer doesn't have gateway set ;)
