Sharing a printer between two vlans

network-printervlan

I have a Netgear switch which supports VLANs. I want to separate two networks, each one having its own internet gateway and servers, but I want all users from the two VLANs to be able to access the same ethernet printer.

Having never configured a VLAN, what are the steps to configure these so that the networks are separated (ie no access between them) and that they can acces the same printer ?

If someone who has already used a Netgear switch could help me with the specific steps, that would be really great.

Many thanks

Put the printer on a third VLAN and ensure that both user VLANs have access to it via the router.
