Hi I have HP Printer that is connected to my wireless network. I then have a 5 port switch which is connected to the router via Ethernet power socket adapter. The switch is just a basic T-Link SG105E. The setup works fine with no hit on speed etc. However I have found the devices connected to the switch do not communicate with the printer to print wireless.

For example on my iMac I have to turn the wireless on so it can find the printer. So the issues seems like it is with the switch but I cant understand what it is as the switch is connected to the router. Yes I can print by just turning the wireless on computer however it defeats the purpose of having a switch and I also want to fund out the root cause.

Any help with this is much appreciated.
