What if my printer is not detected on the network?

• If you have a firewall enabled, you may need to temporarily disable the firewall so that the computer can find the printer during the installation.  If you do not want to disable your firewall, there are exceptions that need to be added to the firewall.  Click here for a list of ports and applications to add as exceptions to your firewall.  Please contact your firewall vendor for instructions on adding these exceptions.
