Dot1x & MAB issues with PRINTERS

Hi all:

I am deploying an IBNS scenario, and i am using dot1x to securize the users and machines accesses to my network resources.

Everythink is working fine by the moment with the pc and the dot1x supplicants, but with other machines such as printers, i was planning to use MAC AUTHENTICATION BYPASS, and my problem is that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (obviously the mac-address of the printer is registered on my ACS).

i am seing that the switch where these printers are connected, it is not displaying all the time the mac-address of them (if you do a "sh mac-address-table interface", sometimes you display the mac, sometimes not, even having all the time the printer connected and up/up). The static adition of the mac of the printer to the cam of the switch does not solve the problem.

Anyone is having a similar problem with MAB and can help?

TIA
