Have you checked the subnet/gateway of the printer?

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

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

I've seen something like this before where ranges of IPs are reserved for VPN...

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?
