Airprint works only on conductor, not on other AP

    Hi

    I have 4 Aruba AP 315, managed by virtual controler.  

    I noticed that I can only print (search for printers from my iphone) when I am connected to an AP that is conductor. The configuration of all APs is the same, only one of them is promoted to the controller function. Mgmt to all APs fed by tagged vlan (1020), wifi is on another tagged vlan 1030, on one AP (conductor) it works, on the others it does not. Airgroups are enabled, I've seen advice on the forum to disable them but then completely printing does not work. Can any of you help solve this problem?

    Hi

    I managed to fix before my post was added, the problem was with multicast DNS, I read the forum threads, disabling airgroups restoring communication between devices.

    so I take it your WLAN clients and Airprint server/service are on the same VLAN/subnet
