12:00
Speaker 2
Okay, and kindly look if you see there the printer. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 1
linked in no but it was connected let me let me let me let me see because it was connected to the it actually was connected a minute ago I was talking I just as I I see a list of devices here that I know necessarily say the name of the printer but it's just a bunch of numbers so I don't know if give me one second I'm going to try to because it was printed I was able to print actually from my phone I was able to print a minute ago
13:00
Speaker 2
okay. Well, if that is the case, if the printer is not connected yet to your network, ma'am, we need to. We cannot open the ports cuz the printer is not connected yet. Yeah, if the printer is connected, what seems to be the problem? Cuz what why did they ask you to open those ports now?
13:00
Speaker 1
my computer could not connect to the printer I'm unable to print from my computer yeah I cannot. I was able to print from my phone. Let me see if I can print. and. from my phone. and right now I'm printing from my phone but I cannot connect to the printer.
14:00
Speaker 2
So you are unable to print from your computer but your other wireless device like your phone, you can print that way. So, if that is yes. I understand, ma'am, that this is, uh, what the HP people advised you to do, but I had encountered this problem before. And with regard to this one, because the printer is already connected to the wireless network, to the wireless router. Your other wireless device is already, um, printing. Okay? It can print with no issues. So there's really no -- uh, there's -- there's not a problem with the communication between the printer and your other wireless device. Even with Linksys, there's no problem with that. Okay? Because if -- if there's a problem with Linksys, then all of your wireless devices won't be able to print. Okay? So it's just that something is actually blocking from your computer. Okay? In my case before, cause -- cause I had encountered this issue before with -- with -- um, HP -- with even HP or Brother printer. What the cause of that issue, is actually, the the firewall on your computer. The Windows Firewall, or any antivirus firewall. That's causing the issue, ma'am, that's blocking you from printing. So you need to check on that, if there's any firewall enabled. It could be your your your antivirus firewall or your Windows Firewall, that's blocking it. So you may need to turn it off temporarily. They need to check yes they need
14:00
Speaker 1
okay. okay. yes. okay. okay. I was okay. got it. okay. I can. yeah. okay. got it.
17:00
Speaker 2
I'm not really totally disabled the firewall, a, they may need to, to set some exemptions, um, to, uh, let the printer work. Maybe they need to, uh, put some exemptions for you, for the printer. Yes. Guess the printer is already connected. Uh, yeah, your other wireless devices can print. So I I don't see any problem with the communication between the Linksys and the printer. It has something to do with the device. There's something blocking from there. It could be the firewall, the anti-virus firewall, um, Norton or any any anti-virus third-party uh firewall. Even Windows, um, that could also cause the issue. So. Since that is a work laptop, ma'am, you may need to have that checked with your IT, uh, people. Mmm.
17:00
Speaker 1
because I have been able to print from my other devices. I just asked my daughter to print something on the computer and she's able to do that. Okay. Okay. Don't need to react. Okay. Okay. Okay. That makes sense. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you so much for your help. That makes sense. I'll talk with my IT tomorrow. I appreciate your help. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Appreciate your help. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, you too. Thank you, bye bye.
18:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, good thing you mentioned, yeah, good thing you mentioned that. Because these ports, they mentioned, there's really no connection with that with the printer. So, no need to open those spots. Yes, Yes, ma'am, not a problem. No worries. You can always give us a call back if there's still any issues, okay? All right. Well, for more information, please visit our site support.linksuppliers.com. This is Epi again from Linksys. Thank you for calling ma'am and you do have a great night. Take care. Bye bye.
