Access print connected to another switch

Question

I have two servers (NethServer and Zend) "creating" two different IP pools. These two servers are connected to different switches, one of the switches has a printer connected. So, how do I make the computers on the other switch communicate with the printer?

I tried to create 3 Vlans(one for the computers of switch A, one for the computer of switch B and another for the printer connected in the switch B) and "trunk" the switches. But did not work.

You don't need VLAN's at all. Just assign all of the devices with an ip address in the same network, such as 192.168.1.0/24.

So one of the servers need to generate IPs in the same as the other just with different "Start IP Adress"? – zorak Jun 02 '19 at 01:03
You only need one DHCP server in the network when all devices are on the same L2 broadcast domain. – Tero Kilkanen Jun 02 '19 at 20:58
