Check printer setup for network environment
Ensure the correct printer software and printer software port are being used. For more information
about network connections, see
Configuring the printer (Windows), Configuring the printer (Mac OS),
or the documentation provided by your network vendors.
Check any personal firewall software installed on the computer
The personal software firewall is a security program that protects a computer from intrusion.
However, the firewall might block communication between the computer and the printer. If there is a
problem communicating with the printer, try temporarily disabling the firewall. If the problem persists,
the firewall is not the source of the communication problem. Re-enable the firewall.
If disabling the firewall allows you to communicate with the printer, you might want to assign the
printer a static IP address and re-enable the firewall. See
Configure network options.
