Need tips for wireless printer on local network

signalwriter — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 04:22:55 GMT

Hello,

I have a Cisco 891 ISR that's working fine with several clients on a local network both wired and wireless.

Just picked up a wireless printer and I can see and ping the printer from the router, but the PC setup can't find the printer and thus won't set it up correctly.

I thought perhaps that by opening up ICMP would correct the issue because I can't ping another client on the network, but after entering these commands, I still can't ping the printer from a PC.

access-list 110 permit icmp any any echo

access-list 110 permit icmp any any echo-reply

access-list 110 permit icmp any any source-quench

access-list 110 permit icmp any any packet-too-big

access-list 110 permit icmp any any time-exceeded

I'm still new to the Cisco IOS and many of the features, so would appreciate any input as to what I might be missing.

Thanks,

-Mike

What are you using for wireless? Maybe its a configuration on the wireless side. Is the users and the printer on the same subnet? Have you tried to put them on the same subnet to see if it works?

access-list 110 permit icmp any any echo

access-list 110 permit icmp any any echo-reply

access-list 110 permit icmp any any source-quench

access-list 110 permit icmp any any packet-too-big

access-list 110 permit icmp any any time-exceeded

SO which means the router will allow ICMP but will deny ALL OTHER TRAFFIC. Access Control List (ACL) has an emplicit "deny any any" at the end of each statement. You need to add "access-list 110 permit any any" AT THE END of the access list 110.

you're better off removing the ACL. From what you are showing in that ACL it's not doing anything, with out te ACL all traffic should be allowed. Unless there is more you aren't showing.

Can you check the config on the AP side and see if Public Secure Packet Forwarding is enabled? If not can you post the config of the AP?

Re: ACL - Didn't work with the ACL off and since I assumed the router would have most items turned off (secured) by default, I turned on what I thought might be reasonable. Still not able to ping between PC's on the wireless - gives me a destination unreachable error from a PC command line.

Mike,

As what Steve has requested, can you kindly post the complete config?

Re: Need tips for wireless printer on local network

signalwriter — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 07:30:30 GMT

Ok, below please find the running config. Did some reading tonite on the public secured packet forwarding - but the documentation is unclear to me. Not sure if ENABLING it means I can communicate with other devices on my wireless LAN, or DISABLING it means that I can communicate with other devices. The docs seem to indicate if it's enabled, it prevents communication between PC's/Printers and anything else (e.g. for a public access point.) because you first have to setup protected ports...

That's NOT what I'm after - this router is being used in a small home-office environment and I DO need to see printers and at some point want to put up a NAS again.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

that's from the router, which is good to know. Can you please session into the AP and post the show run from the there?

that looks fine, but very basic. It doesn't look like PAPF is enabled under the bridge group. But it doesn't show any config for the WLAN.

Any suggestions, or do I need to just find another router?

I'm having a similar issue. I have an 891W with an HP 8500A Plus wireless printer. I'm able to ping the printer from my computer, but the HP software does not find the printer. This was working before with an asa 5505 and Cisco AP 1200.

So many printers need you to be connected to the same network to which your printer is connected. The steps for connecting a printer to Wi-Fi will vary from printer to printer. you can check online method to connect your printer on a local network. also, check out error 49.4c02
