Hello there,
I have an odd issue I can’t seem to figure out, so I figure it’d be useful to put the question out there to see if I can pick someone else’s brain.
A customer migrated to aerohive networks about two years ago from another wifi vendor. The upgrade went well at all sites except for one. In this specific site, the label printers don’t work when connected to the aerohive APs; meaning when a print job is sent to the printer, it only prints the first page then stops. They work on other sites except for this one. I understand you may be thinking the problem is the printers, but absolutely nothing else changed other than swapping APs from the old vendor to Arohive. We’ve tried firmware upgrades on aps, printers, server, etc, to no avail. I’m wondering is there’s anything anything proprietary to aerohive\extreme in the way they handle the tcp stack or any other proprietary setting that may be causing this issue.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
If same model printers and same model APs with same software versions work in other locations without issues, it might be some other circumstances aside. I’d aim to compare config on selected APs from both locations. If the config is identical, we might have to look for the root cause somewhere else.
The only thing that might be tricky with APs is the 802.11 PHY. Some APs, but more often some end devices tend to not really like some sort of frames (I had an issue with Unify/Ascom VoWLAN phones when some 11k options were enabled on another wireless platform for instance).
Hope that helps,
Tomasz

Hello,
first of all, have you checked if there any firewall rules in the user profile?
