if you set up a static address for the printer and it falls in the VPN protected range then the router won't route traffic to it unless you have VPNed in and are issued one of those IP addresses in the VPN-allowed range.

Have you checked the subnet/gateway of the printer?

Ah, the possibility of being on the VPN

I'm betting this is it. When you connect to the VPN, you join the same subnet

Static addressing - I had to do this with my home printer.

This was the first thing I thought of as well. I have seen very similar issues

Was the printer set up with a hostname or an IP?

Nice. With the VPN on I'll run some diagnostics

If all else fails, can you simply reset the printer?

Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?
