English • 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. 44

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.
