hi,
"scanning" refers to using a broadcast to find printing devices. As you use different networks for LAN an Wifi, and broadcasts are confined/limited to a single network, the Wifi clients do not find the device.
Suggestions for a solution:
- use the same network address and mask for both LAN and Wifi network. This requires to run the AP in "bridge mode".
- tell the Wifi clients the exact address of the printing device. This will use unicast traffic which is supported across networks. Usually, you determine the IP address of a printer, and there a few in comparison to clients, so this should not be a problem hopefully.
Of course, in order to allow traffic from one network into the other, you need to set up routing and policies.
Note that this is not a limitation in FortiOS. Limiting broadcast domains to one network is by design.
