Hi Zyxle
I installed 3x Multy X
A. I did connected a printer to the LAN (Fritz Box)
Printing from the Laptop via LAN do work
BUT printing via the WLAN (AirPrint) do not work.
please what can be the reason that the print cant get started?

B. in case I connect the printer direct in to Ethernet port on the the Multy X - I cant access the printer from the laptop neither - i.e. the printer cant get reached at all?

Please assist with guidance what i need to change on the setup?
(standard Multy X install)
thank you stefan

    Hi @StefHai

    To better understand your setup and assist you effectively, could you please provide more details about your network configuration?

    1. In Scenario A, you mentioned that "printing from the laptop via LAN works." Is your laptop connected to the Fritz Box's LAN or the Multy X's LAN?
    2. In Scenario B, when the printer is connected directly to the Ethernet port of the Multy X, are both your laptop and the printer in the same subnet?

    If possible, could you also share a simple diagram or description of your current network topology? This will help us get a clearer picture of your setup and identify any potential issues.

    Kay
