Cannot print and there is a firewall on the computer
•Update the firewall using the most recent update available from the manufacturer. Refer to the documentation that came with your firewall for instructions on how to do this.
•If programs request firewall access when you install the printer or try to print, make sure you allow those programs to run.
•Temporarily disable the firewall and install the wireless printer on the computer.
Communication with printer lost when connected to Virtual Private Network (VPN)
You will lose your connection to a wireless printer on your local network when connected to most Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Most VPNs allow users to communicate with only the VPN and no other network at the same time. If you would like to have the ability to connect to your local network and to a VPN at the same time, the system support person for the VPN must enable split tunneling. Be aware that some organizations will not allow split tunneling due to security or technical concerns.
