I upgraded my router and I can not print correctly when I attach to my office

I use Remote Desktop connection via VPN. My printer is connected to an Apple
Airport Extreme Base.

I was able to print properly, but now it is different. My print jobs do not
print immediatly. The print job will print only after I disconnect from the
remote desktop connection and quit the VPN.

Any idea what is going on? My airport extreme is connected to the router and
my HP Laserjet is connected via USB to the Airport Extreme Base station.

My guess is that you didn't connect via VPN before or your old router did
the VPN?

Once you connect via VPN to the remote network, by default you can't
connect to devices on your local network - it's designed to protect you
from spreading malware that way.

There is a "Use default gateway on remote network" setting on VPN that can
allow you to still use your network, but you may not be able to reach the
remote computer through the VPN if you do that.
