Firewall
Before Printer Software Installation
If your printer is connected directly to a network and the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP firewall is enabled, you cannot view your
networked printer(s) when you run the Dell™ printer installation software. To prevent this situation, disable the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or
Windows XP firewall before you install the Dell printer software. To disable or enable your Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP 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.
NOTE:
If the CD does not automatically launch, click start® All Programs (for Windows Vista only)® Accessories (for Windows Vista only)® Run,
and then type D:\setup_assist.exe (where D is the drive letter of your CD), and then click OK.
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 Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP firewall after you install the printer software.
Enabling the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP firewall after you install the printer software does not limit the use of your printer.
