Disabling Firewall Before Installing Printer Software

NOTE: This step is necessary if you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3 installed.

If your printer is connected directly to a network, and the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows 7 firewall is enabled, you cannot view your networked printer(s) when you run the Dell printer installation software. To prevent this situation, disable this firewall before you install the Dell printer software. To disable or enable your Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows 7 firewall, perform the following steps.

1Click Start and click Help and Support.

NOTE: For Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, if you use Online Help, switch to Offline Help on Windows Help and Support window.
