Hi, I am a new user, I am trying to make my printer accessible to multiple network segments, currently I have LAN1(default) and a Guest Network configured on separate VLANs. Printer is connected to the LAN1 segment, I have created an allow rule Guest Network--> Printer IP, the rule works well, I am able to ping the IP from the guest network. Windows PC is also able to print to the printer, however iPhone when connected to the guest network is not able to find the printer, I believe Airprint works on some kind of broadcast which must not be getting out of the guest Vlan.

I am wondering is there a way to have a virtual IP address created on the guest network which is nothing but an alias to the real IP facilitating the communication between the iphone and the printer

  So iOS devices would use AirPrint which needs mDNS reflector. Check Settings > Advanced > Configurations > mDNS Reflector and turn on for both network segments.
