Are you trying to have the server respond back directly to the client? If so, it should work if without the SNAT. You'd want the server to get a connection from the BIG-IP with the client's IP as the source (no SNAT) and the destination IP being the VIP (destination address translation disabled). You'd define the VIP address on the server's loopback interface so that the server would reply back directly to the client using the VIP address. In the BIG-IP world, this is called nPath routing:

I'm not sure why this would solve the issue you're seeing with network printing, but it sounds like what you did with the CSS.
