Problem with my Network Printer

I just installed a new network printer...an HP B9180 (inkjet).

My computer often cannot communicate with the printer unless I turn LnS off. Any idea why or if there is a rule that is messed up? The printer has a static IP (192.168.2.95) so is there a rule that I can run to permit that IP as no block?

The strange thing is that I have a network laser (Samsung) that works perfectly all the time without having LnS block it.

thanks for the help

 

Hi,

Did you try to import the File (and printer) sharing rules:
http://www.looknstop.com/En/rules/rules.htm#Partage

Otherwise, yes you can create a rule to allow just this IP:
http://www.looknstop.com/En/rules/rules.htm#AutoriserAdresseIP

If this doesn't work maybe this new printer requires another software to connect to internet and this has to be allowed in Application filtering part, or maybe it is using another TCP/UDP protocol and looking at the log should help.
