Temporarily disabling the software firewall before installation
Before assigning the printer a static IP address and then installing the printer software
on a computer, temporarily disable the software firewall on the computer. For
instructions about disabling the software firewall, see the documentation that came
with the software firewall.
Whenever the software firewall is disabled, HP strongly recommends that the
following items be installed on the computer:
•
A hardware device, such as a gateway, that provides firewall protection
between the computer and the Internet
•
An up-to-date anti-virus software program
For maximum virus protection while the firewall is disabled, disconnect the computer
or router from the Internet while you install the printer software on the computer. After
the printer software is installed, you can reconnect the computer or router to the
Internet.
After disabling the software firewall, follow the steps for assigning the printer a static
IP address.
