How to add a printer from a different network to my iPad

Hi,


I need to add printers to several iPads in the company. iPads are connected to the Wifi and printers are connected a the printer network and they both are different subnets, so the iPads won't find any printer when they scan the network.


Any ideas?


Thanks.

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, Cellular
