Adjust The McAfee Firewall Settings So That It Doesn't Block the Printer
McAfee antivirus software is specially designed to keep you
document and files safe and protected from the eyes of hackers. It is a
complete security suite which comes with its own Firewall that acts as the
filter between your computer and the network. It is the Firewall that scans all the incoming and outgoing traffic
and matches with its own criteria. If the packet matches the rules of the
firewall then it allows it, otherwise blocks it from accessing your internet.

It not that Firewall always work in your favor, there are times
when we have observed that it blocks the access of other hardware like Printer.
Whenever you try to print a document, your Windows try to set up a connection
with the printer. If McAfee considers this connection as unsafe then it will
not allow it. To allow your printer, print
freely without any blockage you will need to open the Firewall settings for
it. You will need to grant the full access to the Spooler SubSystem application
and also unrestricted the ports used by the Windows File Sharing service.
Below are the given steps to make your printer work without any
barrier:
·
Double click the McAfee Security
Center on your System’s tray.
·
Then click on the small arrow next to
the Firewall and then click on its Settings.
·
On the Firewall setting window, click the “Program Permission” tab to view
the permission assigned by McAfee to your programs.
·
After that click on the “Add” button
and, select “Full” from the access drop down menu.
·
Then click on the Browse button to
open the file browser.
·
Insert the
"%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\Spoolsv.exe" path in the File Name
box.
·
And then click
“Open” to select the Spooler SubSystem Application and click “Save” to give
full access to Spooler SubSystem application.
·
Thereafter, click the “Ports and
System Service” tab. This will open up the system services that are allowed to
communicate through unrestricted port.
·
Now, place a check mark in front of “Windows
File Sharing (NETBIOS) Ports 137-139," "Universal Plug and Play
(UPNP) Port 5000, 1900, 2869" and "Common Operating System
