Sequoia 15.2 and Firewall

I have a managed Mac where the firewall settings can't be changed :

Firewall stealth mode on

Automatically allow built-in signed software ENABLED.

Automatically allow downloaded signed software ENABLED.

Firewall is enabled. (State = 1)

I can't find any log files

I can't Print to local NetworkPrinters

I can't Backup with timemaschine to local NAS

With Sonoma 14.6.X it work's

And yes i can ping the devices

Are there any suggestions ?

Kind Rregards

I would suggest you look in Privacy & Security>Local Network to see if your Airprint printer is enabled.

NAS and Local Time Machine is broken. There have been multiple discussions on it since September and and I am not sure if 18.2 fixed the broken part.

Contact the people responsible for managing your Mac and have them solve this. The app Firewall is completely useless. The fact that they require it to be on means they really don’t know what they are doing.
