Printer Connection Method (IPP/IPPS)
In the following procedures, items displayed on the screens for Windows Vista are used. Depending on your environment, the items you see on the screen may differ.

The procedure for checking whether the IP address of the computer to install the driver in is allowed in the [Firewall Settings] of the machine is described in steps 13 to 16 of "TCP/IPv4 Settings," and steps 9 to 11 of "TCP/IPv6 Settings."

IMPORTANT

If communication via the relevant IP address is not permitted in [Firewall Settings], you cannot install the driver.
