Do you want the application “EEventManager.app" to accept incoming network connections?

[Mork]

I have been getting this dialog every time I boot for a long time on two macs:

Do you want the application
“EEventManager.app" to accept incoming
network connections?
Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior.
This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of
 Security & Privacy preferences.

I have gone into Firewall pane and saw that the "EEventManager.app" is already set to "allow". I've also tried removing that item and re-entering it. Nothing works. I still get this dialog (above) each time I boot.

Any idea how I can convince the Mac (10.13.2, but other versions, too) that EEEventManager.app is already set to "allow" in the firewall pane?

Thanks in advance,

One person stated this:

Good call. The EventManager.app is the culprit. "EEventmanager allow or deny request" warning is run because of the app, it's is in the Epson scanner software package that comes with WF3520 Epson printer.

So it seems you have an epson device and its software wants access, whether that access is appropriate is up for discussion.

I have a 3540 Epson, but I don't use it since I'm pi$$ed about the ink costs...so it's off.

Thanks for the info.

I don't know any printer maker that offers inexpensive ink. I just bought an ink cartridge for my Canon and it was too expensive. I don't print that much stuff but my kids do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Check this printer:
Brother HL-L2340DW

Not color, but the best printer I've never hated.

I wouldn't mind the expensive ink... if only these manufacturers stopped building-in pre-determined expiration dates that force you to replace the ink cartridge even if you put it in a week earlier and only printed 3 sheets. That, and if the printers wouldn't use half an ink cartridge cleaning, aligning and adjusting if you haven't used the printer in a while.
