Printer Settings could not be saved, Operation could not be completed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good day All,

Welcome Back!!!
Today i will share with all a incident which happened.. We had a request to change Printer settings like new IP and Name for a printer on a Windows 2008 Print Server.

So as usually we right clicked on the Printer, changed the name and went on to Add new Port, new IP and when we clicked Apply we started to see this error as below


After some troubleshooting we identified that it needs Windows Firewall to be enabled and running as by default we have Windows Firewall disabled on all Windows Servers. As soon as we enabled Windows Firewall we where able to Apply the settings.Why we need this to be enabled i will let you guys do some research....

Hope this helps someone, until next time you guys have a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
