Cannot print and there is a firewall on the computer

Third-party (non-Microsoft) firewalls can interfere with wireless printing. If the printer and computer are configured
correctly, and the wireless network is working, but the printer will not print wirelessly, then a firewall could be the
problem. If there is a firewall (other than the Windows firewall) on the computer, then try one or more of the following:
Update the firewall using the most recent update available from the manufacturer. For instructions on how to
do this, see the documentation that came with your firewall.
If programs request firewall access when you install the printer or try to print, then make sure you allow those
programs to run.
Temporarily disable the firewall, and then install the wireless printer on the computer. Re-enable the firewall
when you have completed the wireless installation.
