Print on different vlan

[Olliedawg]

Hello all,

 

We have a Student WiFi network, set up on VLAN 1. What I want to do is allow this network to see some of our papercut printers on our main network ( DEFAULT VLAN / VLAN 0 ) Is this possible?

Is it a BYOD VLAN? If so you wont want to directly expose your printers, but instead you can use PaperCut Mobility Print to advertise them...

It is not. It's just a network for students to use for basic internet access on their phones/tablets.. DHCP/DNS directly from the firewall & on a seperate VLAN.

 

I think that mobility print may be the simplest option.. have you used mobility print before? If so, what are your experiences with it?

I've used mobility print since the percolator days, hardly ever had issues, easy to setup if you know DNS. Very much set and forget

Thanks both i'll have a look into mobility print!

It's possible, what switches/routers do you have? Either you add some policies on the router, or ACLs on the switches. Of course be careful what you let communicate. Better to put the printers on their own vlan, and allow access from student and default vlans perhaps

Thanks for the suggestion, but I now have mobility print set up - was super easy. Our site has been on Papercut for around 3 weeks now - nothing but praise for it.
