Printing through VLANs

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm having problems to use a printer which is placed in a different VLAN, apparently this is because mDNS are not going through the router, is there some way to forward mDNS to be able to add printers automatically through the FortiGate? I've reading this article but I'm not sure if this has something to do with the topic. 

 

Thank you all.

    You don't need mDNS to add a printer.  Just add it by IP.  Those discovery protocols are just chatty crap to make stuff easy for consumers and harder for professionals.
