HP Smart turned ON printer firewall, how to disable now?

[hameshatumkocha]

Hi,

I had a perfectly working setup of my HP Officejet Pro 8625.  I downloaded HP smart, went to advanced settings then by mistake clicked on turn on firewall.  Now, the printer that the computer could see cannot be seen.  I could not find a way to disable firewall on the printer touchscreen.  I clicked forget the printer on HP Smart and HP smart simply finds the printer but calls it offline and asks me to turn on the printer.  Power cycling the printer did not fix the issue.  HP Scan doctor disabled firewalls on my machine but did not go further nor showed the firewall on the printer.  😞 

I simply want to disable firewall and revert to the working condition.  How do I?  Please comment and help! 

Thanks!

After spending many hours, I got things to work again only after resetting the printer settings to factory default.  

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04204791.pdf doesn't cover this nor any HP website documentation.  😞 

if there was another way, please share here so others (and possibly me in the future) can benefit...  

Thanks
