Large environment and implementing printer vlan

Hi,

General environment is 30+ sites, each site has anywhere between 25-100+ printers. Currently setup on main data vlan 1.

Currently setup by a VM print/dhcp server on each site. Plan is to centralize and possibly make a printer vlan/centralized print server.

Coworker mentioned this isn’t necessary and a dhcp reserve pool would work fine for printers without causing a massive change, because in the future each site is going have a separate data vlan which the printers can share.(spending on the site it’s like 30-100 printers)

I’m new at this level of networking, I know the general idea of setting up a device vlan, pointed only to the print server would be better security and segmentation of network, but at this scale I’m not sure who is right.

Any opinions?

Thanks
