2008 Firewall

Before Printer Software Installation

If your printer is connected directly to a network and the Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008 firewall is enabled, you cannot view your
networked printer(s) when you run the Dell™ printer installation software. To prevent this situation, disable the firewall before you install the Dell printer 
software. To disable or enable the firewall, perform the following steps.

 

1.

Click the start button and click Help and Support.

 

2.

In the Search box, type firewall and then press Enter.

In the list, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Insert the Drivers and Utilities CD into your computer to start Easy Setup Navigator.

 

2.

Press Software Installation to launch the installation software.

 

3.

Select Network Installation, and then click Next.

 

4.

Select Local Installation, and then click Next.

 

5.

Select the printer you want to install from the printer list, and then click Next. If the target printer is not displayed on the list, click Refresh to refresh the
list or click Add Printer to add a printer to the list manually. You may specify the IP address and port name at this point.

If you have installed this printer on the server computer, select the I am setting up this printer on a server check box.

 

6.

Specify the printer settings, and then click Next.

NOTE:

This step may not be necessary if you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed.

NOTICE:

It is recommended that you enable your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008 firewall after you install the printer software.

Enabling the firewall after you install the printer software does not limit the use of your printer.

NOTE:

If the CD does not automatically launch, click start® Run, and then type D:\setup_assist.exe (where D is the drive letter of your CD), and

then click OK.

NOTE:

When using AutoIP, 0.0.0.0 is displayed in the installer. Before you can continue, you must enter a valid IP address.
