How do I enable another network's printer on SG-1100?

@antonio-briguglio said in How do I enable another network's printer on SG-1100?:
I have no rule set on subnet 192.168.1.1 ie sg1100.
What? Where is this 192.168.x.x network.. Is it in front of pfsense.. You have no rules on 192.168.1 network on pfsense? Then no nothing is going anywhere..
You don't know how to do a basic rule.. You don't know what protocol your printer is using? You don't know how to do what exactly..
Simple rule would be to allow any to the IP of the printer..
-
@johnpoz look at the diagram, on the router the printer is configured with static ip this is the 192.168.x.x network
the firewall has another network 192.168.1.1.
now I want the printer configured on the router to work on the firewall
-
@johnpoz the printer is connected on the wan side
-
@johnpoz You should create a rule that allows access to the printer's IP, on whatever port you use for printing, but I have no idea how
-
@johnpoz I'm sorry but I have difficulties in translating your language I am Sicilian and therefore I do not understand well if you can use a more basic language thanks :-)
-
@stephenw10 @johnpoz Sorry but there is a guide HOW TO PRINT USING A PRINTER ON ANOTHER SUBNET?
-
is there anyone who can help me?
-
The default LAN rule will allow a client on the LAN to print to a printer in the WAN subnet.
What error do you see when you try to print to it by IP address or FQDN?
You will not be able to 'discover' it.

@stephenw10 Hi, the printer is on the fritzbox network 192.168.2.1 the error it gives me is: printer offline. I cannot print from the 192.168.1.1 network, also the printer has a fixed ip. The printer is an HP LaserJet Pro MFP M28w Printer.
-
And you have it setup by IP address directly?
-
@stephenw10 The printer is configured on the fritzbox and works in wifi, what I want is to make the printer work in wifi also on the sg-1100
-
@stephenw10 For example, the printer is located in the 192.168.2.1 subnet while the smartphone tablet computers are located in the 192.168.1.1 subnet.
-
@stephenw10 As you can see in the figure I have an access point connected with the sg 1100 that works from wifi this has another ip address 192.168.2.254.
All devices connected to the wifi of the access point tablet pc smartphone cannot print gives me an offline printer error.
-
Can you ping the printer's IP from the PC?

Right, so you should be able to print to 192.168.2.21 too.
You cannot just 'find' it on the network in Windows because it's no longer in the same subnet. You must setup the printer on that IP in Windows.

Then it should work to create a "Standard TCP/IP port" to 192.168.2.21 when creating the printer.
You might check your antivirus/firewall isn't blocking it. For instance we set up our clients' Bitdefender to block access to any network printer if the network is marked as Public instead of Private. It's been a while so I can't remember if that's the default or not, but if the printer is in a different subnet it may be getting blocked that way also.

@teamits @stephenw10 Hi,
the antivirus is disabled, I want to print from the 192.168.1.1 network using the printer configured in the 192.168.2.1 network
That is, all devices connected via wifi on the 192.168.1.1 network can print.
Furthermore, the wifi on the 192.168.1.1 network comes from the ip access point 192.168.2.254 connected to 192.168.1.1 that is SG-1100.
There is no printer connected to the access point. Only on the router is fritzbox connected.
So what needs to be done? -

Ok and they are connecting through the pfSense? Then the pfSense isn't blocking printing...
It seems like it should be just adding a printer in Windows and choosing:
"The printer I want isn't listed"
and then:
-
Are you using the 192.168.2.X subnet in two places?
the ip access point 192.168.2.254
the printer is located in the 192.168.2.1
It looks like those things are on the LAN and WAN side of the SG-1100. Yoi cannot use that twice if so. Clients trying to reach the printer will fail because they would be in the same subnet.
However you were able to ping it so that seems unlikely.
You probably just need to configure the printer by IP in Windows.
