How can I find out what the firewall issue is on a Printer?
I was having problems reinstalling HP software for my All-In-One printer, and HP Tech support had me add ten or fifteen programs to the Firewall as allowed programs, plus about that many ports. I'm still having firewall issues according to the HP networks diagnostic tool, and the HP software does not "see" my printer on the network. I can go to its IP address in Internet Explorer and see info about its status, etc, and I can install basic drivers for other similar printers and it will print, but not from the Full Software package that I need for OCR scanning. It is listed under Printers and I can print a test page. The HP Diagnostics has a AutoFix button but it doesn't fix the issue, and doesn't say what is wrong. Until I had problem reinstalling the software it had worked fine for two years. How can I find out what the firewall issue is? |
