Airport Express DHCP online client not listed

I recently moved to the Airport Express from a Netgear router. The Netgear allowed me to display all the assigned client IP addresses in my network. I see that the Airport Utility allows something similar looking at the DHCP Clients under Logs. However, I have a network printer that is not listed. I know it is online because I can communicate with it by giving its IP address on the browser and access its web interface. The printer's IP address is assigned a fixed number through the DHCP Reservations. Why isn't the printer listed? It was listed in the Netgear which also did a reservation. I saw a similar question asked a few years back but no answer was given.

On my system I also miss several of the DHCP clients. The wireless ones are always listed, but part of the wired ones are missing. e.g. currently I see 2 wireless devices, my other airport in bridge mode and my current computer. My other computer (That is being used now), my network laser printer and my solar panel interface is missing. I never was able to figure out why some are listed and some not. For all I made a DHCP reservation in the past.

Presence has nothing to do with lease times as my printer is on 24/7. The lease time only makes that they are no longer listed after the lease ends and the client is not present. In my opinion at least all active computers should be listed there because they have active leases.
