aIf you can not connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy

Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the

print server. This will stop your computer from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time

you wish to look at the print server.

bMake sure that you are using the proper web browser, we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0®

(or higher), Firefox® 2.0 (or higher) for Windows®, and Safari™ 1.2 (or higher) for Macintosh®. Make sure

that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. We recommend you

upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or higher to enable JavaScript.
