    If your printer is properly and wirelessly connected to your main network, then you should be able to access it from the extender without difficulty unless you selected to "isolate" the extender network. Try rebooting both the printer and your main router and see if that fixes it.

    when connected to a new network make sure you select private network and you enable printer sharing in your network.
    This al is selectable in your network options.

    You might also want to enable network discovery then your printer will be visible when turned on.

    This is a upnp function.
