Network Printer not printing or scanning after Mikrotik

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I implemented a Mikrotik router for hotspot authentication and user bandwidth tracking with userman. The network printer was accessible for workstations to print to and network scanning to workstations worked fine, it doesn’t now after installing the Mikrotik.

I have set:
ip hotspot ip-binding
add address=192.168.0.100 disabled=no server=hotspot1 type=bypassed

/ip hotspot walled-garden ip
add action=accept disabled=no dst-address=192.168.0.100

I can ping the printer from workstation. I have disabled the hotspot to test printing/scanning and it can’t so it doesn’t seem to be the hotspot.

What else can I check please?

It’s not the hotspot, removed it and same scenario.

Is the printer connected wirelessly ?

If so you may need to allow forwarding on the wireless interface.

I got it working:

Browsing to the printer from a workstation via explorer > \192.168.0.100
The printer shows itself as a shared resource, double clicking installs it as a shared printer via the IP and it prints.

Changed scanning to IP address of workstation instead of workstation name and it scans.

Now I can go for a smoke…
