Firewall software can interfere with this communication. If so, rules must be added to any firewall software to allow the following applications to communicate with devices on the local subnet: • {Program Files}\HP\{Model Name}\bin\HPNetworkCommunicator.exe Most of the data transfer between the computer and the device will be done over HTTP (typically port 80 or port 8080). Printing also uses a TCP connection on ports 3910 and 9100. In most cases, firewalls will allow this type of traffic through without any problems. If your firewall software does not, then a rule must be created for HP software to communicate to the device. We use Web Services Discovery (WSD) to find and establish communication with our devices. Other parts of our software communicate with the device via HTTPS (this will usually be port 443 or 8443). In most cases, firewalls will let this type of traffic through without any problem. The applications that will be affected if this traffic is blocked are: • {Program Files}\HP\{Model Name}\bin\DigitalFaxWizard.exe (if using print to fax)

Firewall Requirements
When installing a network device, the HP software and drivers must communicate with the printer
over the network.
Firewall software can interfere with this communication.
If so, rules must be
added to any firewall software to allow the following applications to communicate with devices on
the local subnet:
{Program Files}\HP\{Model Name}\bin\HPNetworkCommunicator.exe
Most of the data transfer between the computer and the device will be done over HTTP (typically
port 80 or port 8080).
Printing also uses a TCP connection on ports 3910 and 9100.
In most cases,
firewalls will allow this type of traffic through without any problems.
If your firewall software does
not, then a rule must be created for HP software to communicate to the device.
We use Web Services Discovery (WSD) to find and establish communication with our devices.
Other parts of our software communicate with the device via HTTPS (this will usually be port 443 or
8443).
In most cases, firewalls will let this type of traffic through without any problem.
The
applications that will be affected if this traffic is blocked are:
{Program Files}\HP\{Model Name}\bin\DigitalFaxWizard.exe (if using print to fax)
