Printer and UniFi AP
-
Oh and all of this testing I've been doing is on the same VLAN/subnet of the printer.
-
You can ping everything else on the VLAN?

Yup. I have other printers and devices already on that network. Everything shows up just fine.
-
The only thing that comes to mind is the "channel width" setting in the Unifi AP. Drop it down to HT20 or 20 Mhz and see if you can connect.

Can't believe I forgot this piece of info.
If I ping the printer from my laptop for an extended period of itme it's almost always ends up being a 50% packet loss. So I can access it on WiFi, but for maybe only 15 seconds at a time before it drops out again. -

Sounds like some sort of access list on the printer.

Only the one to the problem printer stops.

I think I finally figured it out! I made a test SSID and turned off "Multicast and Broadcast Filtering" and all of a sudden I am able to ping it. I'm not sure why this would make such a difference.

Does that printer have a bunch of unneeded protocols running on it?

Might. I'll take a look at it again and maybe to a packet capture.
