Problem with bonjour/AirPrint when network switch is connected
MacOS/iOS is not able to identify my printer as an AirPrint device when my network switch is included in my network. As soon as I disconnect my network switch from my router, all works perfectly. This happens no matter how the printer is connected to the network (wireless, wired LAN through the switch, wired LAN direct to router) which is somewhat confusing for me since I have the printer directly wired to the router.
I have an unmanaged 16 port linksys gigabit switch that I am using at the time. Not sure if there is any way to make this work with this switch or if I need a new "smart managed" switch so I can configure the switch somehow to allow Bonjour data through it.

What switch model, what firmware, any configurations in place?
It is a Linksys SE3016 which I think is unmanagable so I dont think there are any settings/firmware to it though I could be wrong as I am not terribly familiar with network switch configuration. I pretty much got it out of the box and plugged everything in.
My router is the Nighthawk RAX200 if that's helpful.
So completely the wrong community section... this is about Netgear's Insight Remote Manageable Cloud switches.
In general, a non-managed switch should not block Bonjour ...
