Sorry, corrrection:
That should have read "b) ufw ignores rules that completely open up incoming traffic from a specified port"

I have added a rule that everything coming from port 8612 shall be
allowed. So no matter ufw recognises that state of the communication
from the PC to the printer or not, _everyhing_ that the printer sends
from its port 8612 must be allowed. But it does get blocked...

Title:
  ufw broken on Linux Mint 17.3

Bug description:
  Hi,

  on my Linux Mint 17.3 x64 Cinnamon, ufw appears to be broken (0.34~rc-
  0ubuntu2).

  Networking seemed to work alright, surfing was no problem, also FTP
  and SSH worked. But not Bonjour, which I need to use the scanner that
  is inside my Canon MX925. So I used gufw (14.04.2-0ubuntu1.2) to add
  rules that allow packets sent to ports 8610 and 8612, and packets
  coming from 5353 (Bonjour). But still, some of these packets get
  blocked, according to syslog.

  Looking deeper inside the matter, I realised that the default inbound
  policy is deny. So surfing should not be possible, but it works
  alright.

  8610                       ALLOW OUT   Anywhere (log)
  8612                       ALLOW OUT   Anywhere (log)
  8610 (v6)                  ALLOW OUT   Anywhere (v6) (log)
  8612 (v6)                  ALLOW OUT   Anywhere (v6) (log)

  Bonjour should be the only thing working, but in fact, it's the only
  thing NOT working. So I looked at those predefined sets of rules that
  ufw should come with, according to

  http://www.larrytalkstech.com/ufw-the-linux-uncomplicated-firewall/

  but most of the ones mentioned there are missing.

  sudo ufw app list

  Verfügbare Anwendungen:
    CUPS
    Samba

  Only CUPS and Samba are known? Not even DNS or tcp/80 ? Since surfing
  works alright, my guess is that ufw does not really work together with
  iptables, which to my understanding is the "real firewall" that (g)ufw
  is only a frontend for. So ufw does not show all rules that are in
  force, and ufw does not correctly apply new rules at the correct
  position in the chain, so they get defeated by the existing rules,
  thus Bonjour gets broken.
