[SOLVED ]XSANE does not recognize scanner when UFW is on

As above.

Pass, Something so easy, yet unable to configure. Canon Pixma MG6851 is on local wifi network, with address 192.168.0.17. I found, that port 8612 must be opened, so I did. In GUFW, I opened Advanced tab, "both directions" selected, ip address entered with port as above.  Interface wlo1, Policy: Allow, Protocol: Both. No luck, XSANE only discovers HP webcam. However, when firewall is off, XSANE works fine and I can scan. Device's IP address is correct. I will appreciate any advice. Thank you.

EDIT: Panic's over, I messed up ip addresses. From: laptop address. To: Canon address. All working well now.
