You might get a better response if you posted in one of the mesh system areas. Start here and scroll down:

Speculation only on my part. Your printer is most likely connected to a 2.4 GHz band in your mesh system and some of your devices are most likely connected to the 5 GHz band. Expecting a 5 GHz connected device to see and work with a printer connected via a 2.4 GHz band is a very tall order. If you have the option to connect the printer to your LAN via an Ethernet connection, there may be a better chance for a Wi-Fi connected device to see it.
OK thanks, I wasn't looking for support, as mentioned I went through that with the community earlier and could not find a fix. Not a problem.
The problem is the Netgear support.
But FWIW I did a work-around.
Set up a network on the 2.4 freq. only.
Attached the printer which basically forced it onto 2.4 only.
All devices work fine.
Not ultimate solution but at least everyone stopped crabbing at me.
