AirPrint not Working
Hello,
since i have installed my TP-Link Omada network. AirPrint is not working in my network.
The Clients (macOS, iOS) and the Printer (EPSON) are in the same Network and also connected over wireless. The printer will be found automaticly over bonjour on all clients. But when i print, the clients won't get a connection to the printer.
This is not a problem with the clients and the printer. When i connect both devieces to a different simplier wireless network, printing over AirPrint is no Problem.
Do you have any hints how to get printing over AirPrint to work in a Omada based SDN?
Thanks & Regards.

It's under services - IF
But I assume ER7212's software doesn't get too much love at the moment, it is still on 5.4
Windows/Linux version is already at 5.9.9
But as I said - my Airprint is working like a charm without mDNS - on VLAN 1 (default).
For testing - can you configure your network "flat" on 192.168.0.0/24 without any specific VLAN's and then go step by step up where you want to be?
You will then notice where it starts to fail.

Printer and AP both connected to the switches rather than directly to ER7212PC?
Asking as ER7212PC is being advertised as a 3-in-1 device but not really offering a manageable switch inside Omada.
See here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/590922
My Airprint is running super smoothly with both printer and AP being connected to TL-SG2008P and TL-SG2210P.
No special configuration within Omada whatsoever - I am using ER7206 gateway.
And if you want to avoid the need of an mDNS repeater then both devices must be in the same VLAN - but you said it is the case.

@Hoamboy the clients are connected to the same SSID, tagged with VLAN 11. Both are connected over the same EAP650 and gets an IP-Address in the same correct Network. The AP is connected to a TL-2008P. The port on the switch connected to AP is assigned to port Group "All".
I have testet different Settings, googled several Hours. Until bis i habe no clue hey this doesnt work.

no, because there ist no option in Omada Controller 5.4. Or i haven't found it until now?That's the latest version for ER7212PC.

I have created a new SSID without VLAN assignment. The clients and the printer gets an ip address from the Managment LAN (VLAN 1). AirPrint is working in VLAN 1 without any problems.
I will try it again with VLAN assignemt when a newer Omada Controller is available with mDNS.
Thank you for your help :)

Good idea.
When ever mDNS is available for your controller, remember to configure it as 'Gateway' like this - and it will work like a charm:
