R8000 F/W 1.0.4.18 Can't USB Print

Prior to last F/W upgrade (1.0.4.18), I could print to USB Printer using Airprint but now I can't. Printer directly to PC works fine so doesn't seem to be a Printer issue. I have rebooted PC, Printer & R8000 several times but no help. Any suggestions?

Solved my own problem.

 

Again performed multiple reboots of PC, Printers & R8000. Restarted all in reverse order from previous attempts (R8000, Printers, then PC).

 

FINALLY, I got a Windows Firewall blocking message. After allowing access, all is good again. NEVER did I get such a message until now. I had previously looked into a possible Firewall issue but all looked okay.

 

Thanks Microsoft (for keeping the message hidden until now).
