Hello, I have a FortiWiFi-60AM 3.00 build0318, I have some laptops connected to the WLAN interface (10.10.80.0/24) and some PC' s and printers connected to the INTERNAL interface (192.168.53.0.24). My problem is that wireless laptops cannot see the printers on the internal interface, so they cannot print :-( Routing Monitor is giving me: Connected 10.10.80.0/24 0 0 0.0.0.0 wlan Connected 192.168.53.0/24 0 0 0.0.0.0 internal So I think routing is OK. Firewall Policy is as follows: internal -> wlan: all all always ANY - ACCEPT wlan -> internal: all all always ANY - ACCEPT What I need to do? Perhaps a VIP? Thanks, Manuel.

    It depends what kind of printers you have. If you have a printer server, then you should check port 9000 can be reached. If you have printers on windows, I think you should enable netbios-forwarding. Check the docs how to do this.

    Thank you for your answer. I really don' t know what I did but the problem is fixed. The printer is a HP 4650 with an internal jetdirect NIC. Here are the configurations I made. config firewall service custom edit " Jetdirect" set protocol TCP/UDP set tcp-portrange 9100-9100:1024-65535 next config firewall address edit " HP4650" set subnet 192.168.53.53 255.255.255.255 next config firewall policy edit <#rule> set srcintf " wlan" set dstintf " internal" set srcaddr " Wireless" set dstaddr " HP4650" set action accept set schedule " always" set service " Jetdirect" set comments " Allow Jetdirect from WLAN to Printer HP4650" next Thanks,
