I ended up switching to ESET and it no longer blocks my printer and AutoHotKey by default. Pretty happy with it so far.

I did reboot my computer. Turning firewall off initially gave an actual error message, rather than just not printing. Does not print with firewall disabled either. Printing did work before installing Bitdefender, also worked in Bitdefender 2017 after creating rule following instructions above. 

Thanks, I tried the settings above and it's still not working. This has been a frustrating experience. I am thinking to just uninstall and install ESET or something else instead. Can anyone recommend something more user friendly like Emsisoft but not as expensive?

Thanks for letting us know Sorin.

Does Bitdefender Antivirus allow you to disable it? Maybe I should have bought that instead since I don't use most of the Internet Security features (I disabled pretty much everything as they seem to slow down internet browsing/boot up).

Having this issue also. Disabled it, but then it comes back on after reboot sometimes.

I am wondering this as well. Having issues with this blocking AutoHotKey. Need to temporarily disable until I find a solution. Maybe I should just install it and switch to something else.
