[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1926837, member: 396914"] Why do that? Just let the iPad (and anything else that wants the printer) to be all in one network with the other stuff.

Use a strong password for the network with WPA3 and get rid of the Guest network. They should all play nice in the one combined network.
