. This document
discusses how name resolution plays a fundamental role in Dual-Stack transition methods. Using the name
resolution algorithm in Windows, the document goes through various network environments and studies
how the introduction of routable IPv6 addresses will affect network applications. It also discusses DHCPv6,
SLAAC and the impact to DNS, and makes some recommendations.
Using IPSec
Your printer supports IPSec.
However, successful IPSec configuration requires advanced network expertise, and is beyond the scope of
this document. For IPSec to work, the printer’s IPSec configuration must exactly match that of the other
devices in your network. Any discrepancy will prevent communication with your printer until the
configuration is corrected or IPSec is disabled. For more information on IPsec configuration, download the file
IPsec_Admin_Guide.pdf from

Press the Install Software button, and choose your printer from the list of networked printers that
appears, identifying it by its IP address if necessary.
If your computer fails to find any printers on the network, the Printer Not Found window is displayed,
which helps you to try to find your printer. If you have a firewall in operation; you may have to disable it
temporarily in order to find the printer. You also have the options of searching for the printer by its
hostname, IP address, or MAC address.
In some cases, when the printer is not in the same sub-net as the computer, specifying the printer's IP
address may be the only successful option.
