Hello,
I have a home version HP printer. I use 2 subnets. One for wireless and one for wired, both with different IP ranges.
The printer won't send packets to a different subnet to the one it is on. It receives them OK though. This is through design in the firmware.
Is there any way I can use a NAT rule, if the printer has a fixed IP address, to get around this from printing from the different subnet? Just an idea.
It's simply annoying me. Not necessary to fix it, as I can email the printer, but would be nice to have it work properly with the other subnet.
setup example:
'ether1' 192.168.32.0/24
client 192.168.32.7/32
'wlan1' 172.16.32.0/24
printer 172.16.32.6/32
Temporary fix is: cabled printer is put into the same vlan as the wireless clients as they use the printer more than the wired ones.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Tony
