How can I use network printer while Bitdefender firewall on?

Question

After I installed Bitdefender Total Security 2013, I can't print. I found that I can print only when I turn off firewall (from Bitdefender) How can I print with firewall?

I think I should give permission in Settings, but I have no idea.

Network type is Home/Office, Stealth mode is remote, Generic is No.

It is HP Laserjet connected to the wall by LAN cable. I add the printer in Windows 7 by "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer", select "The printer that I want isn't listed", select "Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname", and then enter hostname or IP address.

Ensure you've set your LAN and/or that device to be a 'trusted zone' in BitDefender:

A trusted zone is a device that you fully trust. All traffic between your computer and the trusted device is allowed. To share resources with specific devices, such as computers or printers, add them as trusted zones.

To add a trusted zone:

1. Open the Bitdefender window.
2. Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar..
3. In the Settings Overview window, select Firewall.
4. In the Firewall Settings window, select the Settings tab.
5. Under Firewall Rules, click Adapter Rules.
6. To add a zone, click the corresponding button. A new window displaying the IP addresses of the devices connected to the network will appear.
7. Select the IP address of the computer or the printer you want to add, or type an address or address range in the provided text box.
8. Go to Permission and select Allow.
