Sharing printers across interfaces

This is probably a newbie question but I am a newbie.

We've had an XG85w installed in our office and it's been set up with a LAN interface (10.0.7.1) through port 1 and a WiFi interface (10.0.5.1). How can I share access to printers connected to the LAN interface with users on the WiFi interface?

Sam,

Traffic from one network to another is blocked if an allowed firewall does not exist.

Create a proper firewall rule (I guess UDP 1900) from wifi to LAN.

Check the traffic blocked using log viewer.

Regards

Will any to any firewall rules work between trusted interfaces with having to create a specific rule like for printing?

port 1900udp is multicast plug-'n-play , I doubt that traverses the XG. (normally requires igmp proxy)
allowing tcp9100 (=lpr print) and udp161 (snmp status) and ping (test purposes only) towards the printer might suffice.
