Web Shield affecting Epson Network Printer (WF-7520)

I am running avast free version 2014.9.0.2016 (def: 140426-0) on Win 7 Pro and have experienced problems with printing to an Epson WF-5720 network printer.

A few pages (3-4) will print successfully on a job, then an “Error - Sent To Printer” message appears in the queue.

If I turn the Web shield off then the print jobs are completed successfully. Turning Web shield on again and the print jobs will error.

I had this same problem a few months ago however it ‘disappeared’ after I had disabled/re-enabled avast and windows firewall at the suggestion of Epson.

Does anyone have suggestions for solving this problem.

Cheers.

have you tried latest version? http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=149104.0

Updated to 2014.9.0.2018 (def: 140426-0) and the problem seems to have gone away.

Thanks Pondus.
