Printer/ scanner connectivity

I use a Cannon Maxify MB 2160. Some months ago I had AVG's Ultimate, Security & Driver Updater.
I had to cancel the Driver updater as it regularly disconnected my Printer. However since I did that when ever Ultimate does a Service I now lose my Scanner ability & need to reinstall my Cannon. My Case number previously was 10226163. Is this an AVG or Cannon or another issue?

Hi Rogan,

Hello Midhun, Right. Now I have attempted to follow your guidance but it was not easy. Some Tab names being different. I went to the follwoing Tabs; is this correct?  (1) AVG Internet Security (2) Hacker tab (3) Firewall tab (4) Network profile tab (5) Policies default tab (6) Enhanced Firewall Policies tab and there changed it to "ALLOW" on the drop down menu. Is this correct? Please confirm. Thanks. Rogan.
