Hi, I am interested in how to configure McAfee Internet Security to allow printing to a wireless printer. I am experiencing the same issue with the firewall blocking communication to the printer (tested because it is able to print once I turn off the firewall). Details:
Thanks!

Has this printer/firewall issue been resolved yet? My wireless network printer also won't work unless McAfee Firewall is turned off. This is the case with three different laptops, two running Windows 7 and one with XP. My wired desktop is running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64 bit. File sharing is also a problem - won't work unless McAfee Firewall is turned off. All was working well until late December, perhaps coinciding with a McAfee update. Ran the Virtual Technician, but can't seem to resolve this problem. Looking for help!
Thanks,
Laurie

spooler subsystem app
c:\windwos\system32\spoolsv.exe
Yes, the printer spooler is indeed allowed in the firewall settings.
I have a Dell desktop with McAfee Security Center:
Version: 11.0
Build: 11.0.654
Personal Firewall:
Version: 12.0
Build: 12.0.345
Hi
Thank you for the version details. Please try the below steps and update us the status:
If the above fails, Navigate to Navigation>History & Logs>Incoming Event and check the reasons under the events which blocked the communication with the local IP’s
Thank you, Nishad!!!!
