Problem solved, with some insight from the folks who posted. Thank you all.
I created a separate VLAN just for the printer and made it a member of all of the other VLAN ports. In turn, I gave each of the other VLANS membership on the default port for the printer's VLAN. Then I used unmanaged switches on the ports that needed them.

Thank you again for all the help.
