Microsoft Defender security suddenly has disallowed me from printing to my own printer. Yesterday, I printed numerous files. Today, it's blocking me due to a severe threat. I restarted my printer and my laptop. No luck. What the heck? Why, and how do I fix this? All help appreciated.

    Does it detect any malware?

    If yes, would you mind share the name of it?

    What is the manufacturer of your printer?

    Are you able to print if you turn off the real-time protection?
