how many devices do you have?
Usually when I see people run into a device limit issues, its with devices connected over wireless as wired supports a lot more devices.

23 connected on the C7000vs (Max 30) and 3 (wired) 1 (wifi) on the WAX202
WAX202 is plugged into the C7000v2.
At one point I was able to ping the printer but it's not showing up as being connected to the network when I get on the subnet wifi (WAX202)

You can have more than that connected, especially if they're hardwired.
Its usually 32 devices per band. If they're higher bandwidth devices, its less but you can connect that many.
You'd be better off to put the WAX in access point mode.

Ok. I also have the netgear managed switch that can do VLANs. Should I put some stuff on the VLAN? Will that help at all?

shouldn't need to.
I'd simply leave the c7000 in router mode and the wax in access point mode.
Just make sure the wireless networks are using different channels to prevent interference.
