Please try the below steps and update us the status:

  1. Go to McAfee Firewall Settings.
  2. Select “My Network Connections”
  3. Check if the local IP Address is added to it. ...
  4. In case if the address are already added, try to change the Security Level to “Work” and save the settings and then try accessing the printer.
