Firewall blocking printing on network printer

Hello,


The firewall in Bitdefender TS2018 is blocking access to my network printers. With previous versions I was able to fix the problem by adding a new adapter rule (see https://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-create-a-firewall-zone-in-bitdefender-2016-(my-wireless-printer-is-not-working)-1466.html )


I can't find a way to do the same in TS2018.


Any thoughts?


Thanks!

    Well, I've solved the problem myself.


    Here's the solution in case anybody needs it:


    1) Go to Firewall settings


    2) Click Add Rule


    3) In SETTINGS tab, turn "Apply this rule to all applications" ON. Leave other fields unchanged.


    4) Go to ADVANCED tab.


    5) Turn "Custom remote address" ON


    6) Enter IP address of the printer. Leave Port field blank


    7) Click OK and close.


     


    Voilà.
