How do I enable another network's printer on SG-1100?
-
Mmm, no idea what the Fritzbox was doing with that but it doesn't seem like the right thing.
Anyway, glad you were able to resolve it.

@stephenw10 not really because sometimes it prints and sometimes it goes offline. While in the fritz network it does not give any problems.
-
@stephenw10 Will there be a way to solve the problem?
-
If there is it will be in the Fritzbox which I would not expect to filter at all between LAN and wifi.
pfSense is not blocking anything there if you have configured Windows to use the printers IP address directly. We still haven't seen that but I assume you must have done since it would fail to connect at all if it was still trying to discover it.

@stephenw10 Hi
here is what you were looking for but help me solve the problem thanks
-
That is a discovery port (WSD), and its pointing a link-local address (ipv6)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WS-DiscoveryNo freaking way that would ever work.. Unless your on the same L2..
How many times do we have to state that discovery is not going to work.. Point your printer to the IPv4 address 192.168.2.21
example - here is mine.. Pointing to the fqdn that resolves to its IP.. See it labeled standard TCP/IP Port
Here you can see what it resolves too

@johnpoz Hi I don't have a network printer but a wifi printer
-
@johnpoz I did as you told me but on the SG-1100 it always gives me offline printer.
In my opinion it is my fritzbox router.
The wifi on the SG-1100 comes from the access point which in turn is connected to the fritz router. The problem is on the access point that there is no printer configured but as @stephenw10 says it should work -
wifi is a network.
Let's see your new printer config in Windows.
If it's using 192.168.2.21 directly it should work.

Ok, now the printer works! Thanks so much @stephenw10 @johnpoz
-
and what did you do to fix it? Point to the actual IP of the printer?
-
@johnpoz I uninstalled the printer drivers. I have reconfigured the printer with the ip and now it also prints in wifi

@antonio-briguglio Glad you finally got it sorted.
