c Print the Network Configuration List and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for
your network. The problem may be the result of a mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP
address is correctly loaded into the print server, and make sure that no other nodes on the network have
this IP address. (For information on how to print the Network Configuration List, see Printing the Network
Configuration List on page 45.)

e If you have tried step a to step d above and it does not work, then reset the print server back to the

If the installation failed, the Firewall on your computer may be blocking the necessary network
connection to the machine. In this case, you will need to disable the Firewall on your computer and re-
install the drivers. (For how to disable the Firewall, see General problems on page 114.) If you are using
personal Firewall software, see the user’s guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.
