• Disable any firewall running on the computer

A software firewall can prevent the computer from finding the printer on the

network during the printer software installation process. If the computer cannot

discover the printer, then the printer software cannot be installed on the computer.

If the computer has a software firewall other than the firewall included with

Windows XP installed (such as BlackICE®, ZoneAlarm®, or Brickhouse®),

consult the documentation that came with the firewall for help in disabling the

firewall.

Note: The software firewall included with Windows XP does not interfere with the

connection to the printer. If the computer is only running the Windows XP

software firewall, then you do not need to disable the firewall during software

installation or assign the printer a static IP address.

Before installing the printer software on a computer, temporarily disable the

software firewall on the computer, and then assign the printer a static IP address.

After the printer software is installed on the computer, re-enable the firewall.

For instructions about connecting the printer to a network on which computers are

protected by a software firewall, go to “Configuring the printer for a software

firewall” on page 52.
