To me it seems the drivers have or might have some problem obtaining the IP address of the printer, maybe there is some supporting service or app that is used to query just that which hasn't got the sufficient firewall rights. Hi, I have done some searching on the net, and it seems that you are not the only one with problems with Canon LBP5050 and more difficult firewall setup and/or network topology. Quote from: cruDE on October 15, 2011, 10:22:52 PM Para-noid I would request you to try the steps above and reply back with the outcome. These settings can be changed regardless the type of Operating system or type of printer networked.īy default in Avast, windows networking In/OUT, ICMP requests are blocked.Īnd as per the info given by the Rinnaus, it’s a network printer as the user is facing the same issue from a different computer. Under firewall Settings -> Packet rules - > Windows networking (IN/OUT) should be allowed.īut if it’s a Wireless printer as iyogisolutions1 mentioned, we can try to add the printer IP address to the friends list which would allow the firewall allow computer to communicate with the printer.
AVAST BLOCKING NETWORK SCANNER FULL
Verify spoolsv.exe is under allowed applications under application rules and has given full access.Ģ. So selecting work zone will not allow the computer to communicate with the printer unless it’s defined under application rules.īelow are the steps/settings that can be verified /altered.ġ. If no rule has been created, you will be asked to confirm whether or not communication with a particular application should be allowed. This is the default setting and if selected, the firewall will allow communication in and out only if allowed by the "Application Rules".
Wherein Work (medium risk) zone is suitable for when your computer is connected to a wider public network, including direct connections to the internet. If this setting is selected, the firewall will allow all communication with the network. Selecting Work Zone under firewall will NOT allow printer to communicate.Īs Home zone is suitable when using your computer as part of a home/private network.
