Cannot print using network printer while VPN is on
Hello,
Often, when VPN is on, I cannot print or scan until I turn off the VPN. I'm running Windows 11, I'm on a home wi-fi network and my printer is also wirelessly connected to that network.
When I turn the VPN off, printing starts to work.
Knowledgebase article 000003338 says to "set the network as a trusted network". But this I have done about a year ago, and yet I keep facing the same issue.
Knowledgebase article 000004707 is about a similar issue on an Android device. In addition to setting the network as a trusted network, it says to "Switch on Connect to local devices". This does not seem to apply to Windows, as there is no such option in the VPN settings menu.
Obviously, I can just keep turning off my VPN to connect my printer. But this is an unelegant solution. Is there something more I could do to avoid having to turn the VPN off?
Thanks,
Joose
