Networked printing troubleshooting
Connection and security tips
Check for and resolve the following possible conditions:
• • Your computer might not be connected to your network. Make sure that the computer is connected to the same network
to which the HP Photosmart is connected. If you are connected wirelessly, for example, it is possible that your computer
is connected to a neighbor's network by mistake.
• • Your computer might be connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Temporarily disable the VPN before proceeding
with the installation. Being connected to a VPN is like being on a different network; you will need to disconnect the
VPN to access the product over the home network.
• • Security software might be causing problems. Security software installed on your computer is designed to protect your
computer against threats that can come from outside your home network. A security software suite can contain different
types of software such as an anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and child protection applications. Firewalls can block
communication between devices connected on the home network and can cause problems when using devices like
network printers and scanners.

A•quick•troubleshooting•technique•is•to•disable•your•firewall•and•check•if•the•problem•goes•away.
Here are some basic guidelines for using security software:
• - If your firewall has a setting called trusted zone, use it when your computer is connected to your home network.
• - Keep your firewall up to date. Many security software vendors provide updates which correct known issues.
• - If your firewall has a setting to not show alert messages, you should disable it. When installing the HP software
and using the HP printer, you may see alert messages from your firewall software. You should allow any HP
software which causes an alert. The alert message may provide options to allow, permit, or unblock. Also, if the
alert has a remember this action or create a rule for this selection, make sure to select it. This is how the firewall
learns what can be trusted on your home network.
