Erm, could maybe setup some sort of web based printing solution?<br />
<br />
Or if the printer is sophisticated enough, can it VPN to your guest network?

If it is on the guest network, cant they just access via IP?

How will they discover it? In X decades of doing networks I've never done one without a server or equivalent on it.

Will test this out tomorrow and report back.

Worked - I was suspecting it to be far harder than it actually was.<br />
What a nice surprise when IT is simpler.<br />
BUT I did put an HP printer on the VLAN as instructed. <br />
<br />
Many thanks.

Horribly naive question.<br />
<br />
At work we have a separate VLAN so that guests and interns can use the Internet in a way that is separate from the main work VLAN.<br />
<br />
If I want to put a printer on the guest VLAN how do uses access it?<br />
I have read about getting printers to span VLANs by seems overly complex.<br />
<br />
What do you recommend? The work network is SBS 2011 and guests and interns use a mixture of Windows and Apple devices.<br />
Many thanks.

Sharing Printers on a simple VLAN

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
