"Phishing attempt" notifications from printer's IP


When I tried to install the drivers for my printer (an HP 3636), it wouldn't install as the connections it made during the installation process were being detected as phishing attempts. So, I temporarily turned off the bitdefender scanner. But since turning the scanner back on, I continue to have notifications of blocked phishing attempts from my printer's IP address. Putting the IP address into the exclusions box doesn't do anything, as it seems that is only for file/folder exclusions. How do I tell the virus scanner that my printer is not attempting to phish?
