Hello Mary,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We understand that you are facing an issue with connecting printer when VPN protection enabled. We will certainly check and help you with it.
If you are using AVG Secure VPN for Windows, I request you enable 'Local Device Access' Settings by following below steps:
Open AVG Secure VPN and go to ☰ Menu ▸ Settings ▸General ▸Local Device Access ▸Enable local device access when using VPN.
You can use printer and shared drivers while using VPN, after enable this option.
If you are using AVG Secure VPN for Mac, I suggest you check the connected network is private network or public network. I suggest you try after changing the network into private.
If you are still facing any issue or any other concerns, please do contact us again.
Thank you and keep us updated.
Since I have installed VPN, the computer is not communicating with wireless printer.
