Description proteus5 2019-05-27 11:52:05 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.
