Software firewall is blocking access to the printer

then a software firewall installed on your computer might block access to the
printer after the printer is connected to the network and the printer software is

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.
To fix this problem, follow the steps under “Configuring the printer for a software
firewall” on page 52.
