How to allow a printer through Bitdefender firewall

This is a quick tutorial about how to allow your printer or another network device through Bitdefender firewall. Depending on the network you are connected to, the Bitdefender firewall may block the connection between your system and another device such as another PC or a printer. As a result, you may no longer share or print files. Bitdefender Total Security and Bitdefender Internet Security come with a firewall module and some of its settings can block communications with network devices such as printers, scanners or other computers. ► The first troubleshooting step is to make sure it is actually the firewall that's causing the issue. ► Bring up Bitdefender from the desktop icon. From the dashboard navigate to the Protection section. In the 'Firewall' pane go ahead and turn off the firewall. While that's disabled test your printer again. If you can print while the Bitdefender firewall is disabled you’ll know it’s the firewall. Now you can re-enable it. ►The next step after you’ve discovered it is the firewall that's causing the issue is to open the firewall settings. Under 'Network Adapters', you want to set the type of your network adapter to 'Home/Office'. In this case it’s set to ‘Public’. From the drop-down menu select ‘Home/Office’. ► Now we're going to open the firewall settings. Once we're here we'll look for 'Stealth mode' and make sure that's set to make your device visible inside the network. As we can see it's set to Invisible. In order to change this, set the switch corresponding to your network adapter to 'off'. This should fix most printing issues. ► If this isn’t working, go back into the firewall 'Settings' and navigate to 'Rules'. In this tab click ‘Add rule’. Turn on: Apply this rule to all applications. Click to expand: Show advanced settings. Scroll down and enable the 'Custom Remote Address' option. There's only one thing we're going to change here. It’s Remote Address. You're going to change that to your printer’s IP address. If you are having trouble finding out your printer’s IP address check the user manual to learn more. ► Click ‘Save’. Now once that's saved a new rule will appear here and you should be able to use your network device again. Choose what the experts use.
