VLAN \ Printer Issue

 

Hi

 

I've setup a separate VLAN for a particular group of PC's and Laptops which is all setup fine and working. My problem is I now need to setup a HP Laserjet Printer for those PC's \ Laptops on that VLAN.

 

I've given the Printer an IP address in the particular IP range of the VLAN, but I can't seem to "see" it. I've tried pinging the IP address I've set the printer, but no joy.

 

What I'm scratching my head over is how the printer can be set to understand the particular VLAN - for example on a PC I can set the VLAN ID in the properties of the network card, but I don't seem to have that option in the printer.

 

Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks

Is the switch configured with VLANs

Yes all configured - as mentioned everything else is fine - just can't get to the printer.

Have you restarted said printer since updating the IP address. Have you tried to untagg (set the PVID/Access vlan, etc) on the switch port where the printer is plugged in on that specfic vlan instead of trying to set specific vlan on the actual device.

I would set the vlan on the switch port to “untagged” instead of tagged. Tagged requires you to set the vlan on the client.

Untag the port on the switch to the relevant VLAN and it will work.

Have you set the correct default gateway on the printer? If that’s not right it won’t be able to communicate outside of the VLAN.

Perfect! - it worked as soon as I set the VLAN to untagged. Thanks
