Have you configured the printer to wirelessly connect to your wifi network?

Yes, printer work, but in dhcp config, printer not show in devices table

Does the printer show up in Network Map?

If you try to add it to the static lease table, does it show up in the dropdown list? Or else, you could check the Offline Client list with the link at the bottom of the dropdown list. See screenshot below:

Is the printer actually a DHCP client or have you set the IP address manually on the printer?

If you know the printer's wireless MAC address you can just type it into the the router. It doesn't need to be selected from the drop down list.

True, but I was trying to rule out that the printing is configured for direct printing (i.e. using the printers own AP), that's why I suggested the above. If the printer is configured to join the existing network, it should show up, right? Otherwise typing the MAC address manually won't be of much use...

I would have thought so but maybe not if he has configured the printer manually, hence my question. Also, I think the drop down list is populated by the Network Map and there have been multiple reports of that sometimes not working properly since it's gone closed-source.
