Unable to Print via LAN when using Eddie

[Falcon81 0]

Hi All

I have been using AirVPN with the Eddie Client for Mac since moving from Mulvad. Mulvad allowed me to Print documents from my mac to my Networked printer however I don't seem to be able to find the printer when using Eddie and need to disconnect from the VPN to print. Is there a simple way to print on my Lan whilst connected to VPN? Thanks

Probably because NetLock is engaged you lose connectivity to your local network. Please provide a system report after a connection for confirmation:.

Thanks. I just assumed having this setting checked would still allow for LAN Printing  when Netlock is on. Is that not the case?

Hello!

Just a thought: if you access the printer via name, the VPN DNS can't know it so your printer name can't be resolved. Have you already tried to access the printer via its IP address?

Kind regards

Add the local/internal IP addresses designate which device in a local network is your computer or associated device to Network lock > Addresses allowed > the complete IP range or the internal IPv4 of the device you try to reach via your local network for example:
