Description proteus5 2019-05-27 11:52:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
A problem occurs about the ability of a client to get the printer linked to a different router linked to another router by WDS, The printer is not detected if not via personal activity which allows to install the driver by PPD file and to give the IP address of the printer, if both the client and the printer are linked to the same router the printer is visible and detected and immediately available to be used. The printer is sometimes visible because of unknown causes probably due to some kind of upgrade of cups packages, but I am not sure about this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. link a wifi printer to the router linked by wds to another router
2. try for the lan printer
3.

I'm afraid this is out of scope of networkmanager-qt, which is a library for NetworkManager. I think this should be reported to print-manager where someone who understands printers can help you.

It should work via brl2710.ppd driver provided in Ubuntu 20.04.

this problem deals with drivers and or with the networking stack. Who are the developers involved on this software?

the issue appears to be fixed though the firewall prevents the wifi printer linked to the secondary router to be detected when it is enabled.

Please report if you can see the printer with avahi-browse -a
