Firewall blocking maybe the printer?

original title: Firewall blocking the printer?

After unplugging, reboot, a message error that the printer does not communicate and you have a firewall preventing maybe printing...  This comes out of the blue as it was before printing.  How can I know if the firewallis to blame?

Hi KarenBrice,

·         Were you able to access the printer earlier?

·         What is the brand and model of the printer?

·         What security software do you use?

I suggest you try the procedure described in article provided below and check if it helps.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-printer-problems

Temporarily disable the security software.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • The printer door does not shut down after printing

    HP Envy110 model D411c.    I printed out a page, the door opened, the extension arm is released, but was partially blocked. The printed page in the status bar and was recovered, the extension arm retracted, but the printer door has not closed completely.  I printed the pages since then, everything works well except for the door.  It closed partially and stops.  No warning appears on the screen.  I have to close to allow the doors close. Help!

    OK, I have a solution thanks to the autonomy and the helpline UK. At least, it works for my desire 120th All In One.

    The door / cover will always return to the position where the task was started. I don't remember to start work with the Panel in the raised position, but apparently I did.

  • I can't remove an item from the print queue that is not allowing me to print

    I'm deleting a document in outlook from a HP Color Laserjet CP1215 printer yesterday, and because it is not to delete, I can't print more. Help, please.

    Hi Sierris,

    This document can be blocked in the print spooler, as would be the case sometimes.
    To check the coil:
    Start on your C: drive. Go to the Windows folder, then System32 folder, then the folder of spool, then the Printers folder.
    If there are any files in the Printers folder, delete them, and this can solve your problem.
    Hope this helps and post again if you need more help.

  • Two questions - cannot save the printer shares with the error code 0x000006d9 and part of the Machine is not accessible from the network of working groups

    I think this are problems, but here is the separately questions, first of all - the basics:

    4 PC network using the working group with two Windows 7 (ultimate) and two xp.  Everything worked fine with the a previous vista / xp 3 network.  All except the Windows 7 Desktop behave well. The network is connected with a modem cable to a 5XT netscreen NS (firewall hardware to the outside and the inside hub), a netgear wireless access point and Windows workgroup use (as mentioned above).  Name all is correct on all machines, all the discovery settings are in place and each has Norton Internet security for its local protection services. Upgrades of Windows 7 have been computer vista laptop connected wireless and wired desktop previously running XP Professional sp3.  XP conversion was assisted on the desktop of the wizard upgrade Laplink PC Mover.  Applications executed in appearance on the two level computers.

    On the desktop - I can't share printers. When I use "networks and printers" in the start menu to share on a printer I get code 0x000006d9 error saying something like the configuration cannot be saved.  All local jobs printing works well.

    On the desktop - the name of the computer records also of all as on the network (it is discovered and mapped by each PC) but when I try to access it from any other machine I get a general error says something like "check your spelling of the name mannequin." This desktop computer Win 7 can browse shared folders on the network of and write about everything.  Somewhat added data - this device can ping all others in the network sucessfully but none get a ping successfully into the offending machine either with ip address or computer name (times out waiting for a response or said the name is not found).  He himself can ping successfully.  It accesses the internet very high hand.

    Solutions have been attempted without a firewall (Firewall Norton Smart Internet - 2010), with the firewall and various changes to authorization.  A final discovery was that Windows Firewall will not allow because BFE is not able to start - error 5 - access denied (this was discovered by train to allow a possible solution because of some internet chatter that the Windows Firewall must be running to implement shared printers).  All other dependencies are running to get a break on why BFE is not (it turns on the Win 7 laptop as well as the firewall).  Authorizations have been verified in the registry for settings of firewall and BFE (ports, permits, etc.) have also been looked at with a very critical eye.  SFC has been run with no problem.  All ports for net drivers, Win 7 networking and other actions are open in the firewall.

    Then people - I did some internet research and I tried a lot of suggested solutions nothing doesn't.  My apologies in advance if a person provides a solution and I say "tried".  Any help is very appreciated

    You can mark this as resolved problem!
    The program involved, causing this error is firewall Windows, here is what you need to do to fix this...
    If like me you have disabled windows firewall, I use Security Suite of ZoneAlarm, you will need to re-enable the firewall to share the printer.

    If you have disabled or turned off the Windows Firewall. (and in my case this error was caused by exactly that)
    Step #1 - disable any other firewall can be installed. Stop to load at startup and restart your PC.

    Step #2 - go to the tools of Admin folder > Services > Windows Firewall > double click and is it set to manual or automatic and keep it.

    Step #3 - open Control Panel > system & security > Windows Firewall > enable or disable the Windows Firewall > (Enable) turn on the Windows Firewall > save
    Then go to Restore Defaults > click on restore default button > save
    (you only do this IF you have changed the settings of the firewall, but it is always a good idea and will ensure that there are no problems during the proceeding)

    Step #4 - click Control Panel Home > view devices & Printers > Select / click on your printer > screen printer properties > share > share this printer > OK

    Step #5 - go back to firewall Windows and the tower he walks back > save

    Step #6 - go back to Services > and the Manual value Windows Firewall (or turn it off if you want, I recommend the manual)

    Step #7 - reboot and re-enable your firewall preferred to start at startup > Reboot

    Step #8 - take a deep breath and sigh of relief! :)

    SOMEONE HAS AN IDEA HOW THESE FILES CAN BE UNLOCKED?

    I suggest to disable CAPS LOCK key since your message is all in the capital and difficult to read. Have you tried to add to the exception in the Windows Firewall? Try also to change your network connection for work or at home instead of public. Also make sure you installed the latest version of the driver and are compatible. Also try to run the tool:

  • XP Pro SP 3 firewall blocking UDP 137 and 138 even though exception "File and Print sharing" is selected

    I am running XP Pro SP 3 on a working group. I'm trying to access the files from a Windows 7 machine on the same workgroup. But the XP firewall blocking UDP 137 and 138 even though exception "File and Print sharing" is selected. When I disable the XP firewall, all right.

    I did some research on another site, and I came up with the FIX for this issue. It has to do with the node XP somehow getting ready to type "Peer-to-peer". I applied the fix in this article:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/903267

    and the problem is now solved.

    Please come back and let everyone know how you fixed the end!

    However, the fact that this has happened and you don't know how concerned me (if it was my machine).

    Here's what I propose for extra cleaning:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  • The pilot is blocked by the firewall despite uninstalling all firewall programs? Photosmart C309g-m

    I installed the version more recent (13.0) drivers and software HP Photosmart full feature but an exclamation point appears next to the icon of my laptop on my screen devices and printers.  When I troubleshoot the, he says that this driver HP Photosmart C309g-m is not found because it is not installed.  Then he told me that the problem is the firewall blocks the installation software.  I uninstalled all the (Windows Firewall, AVG and Norton (although that Norton has never been activated)) but it doesn't install it always pilots and stress STILL firewall blocks.

    I tried to restart the printer, laptop and the wireless hub (which is Heaven) does not.

    My laptop is HP G61-110SA and only a few months.  I think it should be noted that the hard drive was defective again and has been replaced but I don't know if that has to do any.

    The printer is new and looks good, works very well and connected to the wireless network, like a laptop, the problem is only with them communicate with each other.

    I would be grateful for any suggestion, as a day and a half of my poor attempts just made me really stumped!

    Hello

    The real problem is to be able to use the wireless interface to connect the printer to the laptop.  That's what I heard in your last post.

    If you wll post what operating system is installed as your laptop OS I should be able to guide you through it.

    Have you tried the HP network diagnostic tool? There is an explanation of how it use to the hyperlink.

    Good afternoon @Wogla777,.

    It is a great location for extra support! I see you are having problems installing the printer software. I'd be happy to help you.

    I have provided with steps to unlock the hidden administrator account and the installation of the printer on this account to see if this will help this situation.

    Note: Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.

    • Go to your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type CMD.
    • CMD will fill as an option to search above, just right-click on it and "run as Administrator".
    • Once opens in CMD (command prompt), type net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
    • Then, close CMD and then restart your computer.
    • When your computer is on the newspaper in the new account which should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    • If your computer automatically connects to your account after the restart then go to your Start menu and click on the arrow next to 'shutdown' and choose 'change user '. Now log on to the administrator account, that we have just released.
    • Under the administrator account, install the printer software.
    • Test the printer.
    • To disable the Admin account start at step 1 and type net user administrator / active: No..

    If you still experience this issue, it may be the user's profile. Create a new user and try to install the printer on this account.

    • Open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
    • Click on manage another account.
    • Click on create a new account.
    • Install the printer on this account.

    To say thanks, you can click the 'Thumbs Up' and if the question
    is resolved you can click on the button "accept as a Solution.

  • Is there a way in which I can see if Apple firewall blocks the traffic to a certain IP address?

    Connection to my e-mail domain seems to be blocked by a body between my home network (via Apple AirPort) and my mail server to an external service provider. I can connect to this fine through my mobile operator, but not from my home network. This leads me to believe it may have something to do with the Apple firewall, blocking traffic to. Where can I see if this is the case? Other possibilities or what to check?

    I agree that it seems that the Apple router blocking communication (Support Apple says that is not possible, is said by the way)... but please read this thread for another angle that you would not have thought:

  • OfficeJet 8620 two problems one) Win7 firewall connection wifi and b) the printer multi-network

    Bought the printer this afternoon and set up a computer - connection to a printer with wifi as advised in the closed paper work and CD. No problems.

    When I put it in place of the second computer (with wifi) using the CD provided, I received an error message that the hp software can see the given IP address printer but he could not automatically connect using the "typical connection method. Tips in the dialog box has been to change the settings of firewall computer method of 'typical connection '. Any advice on what this might be. Looking at the Win7 firewall, all HP printer software are checked for the home network and the public. What else the firewall must Win7 allow to operate the automatic printer connection?  BTW, I followed the advice of the installation software and punted for the moment. The warning by the software that was if the printers IP address changes, I'll have to manually change it into the computer with the firewall issue (ugh).

    That leads to the second problem:

    A couple of my computers are ethernet only. No wifi. When I plug ethernet to the 8620, it defines an IP address for itself on ethernet, but he abandoned the wifi IP address. How can I feel some ethernet connected computers and some wifi connected ones.

    Any constructive advice is VERY WELCOME.

    I apologize in advance if there is already a solution posted either of these problems; I couldn't find searching them the forum.

    Hi lennyw07016,

    Thanks for letting me know that worked for you.

    I suggest the setting up of a static IP address. In this way the router will always assign the same IP address to the printer.

    Printer does not keep the wireless connection.

    Proceed to Solution 3: printer of the assign a static IP address.

    Here is a document for configuration of a firewall to allow a connection with the all-in-one Windows.

    You can check if you like.

    Thank you.
