Vista Firewall and wireless print server

[Debbie25]

I just installed a IOGear wireless print server.
It was a headache to get it it work but I finally got it.

I'm on a Laptop connected to wirelss network

Anyway, I can print just fine if I turn off the Vista firewall but it will error out if it is turned on.

I have added ports in the firewall for certain program before but I don't know how in add a print server to be allowed.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Debbie

Thanks so much.

Went to the first link and followed that step to add the print server in the advanced firewall settings.

I did of course have to adjust to my IP address and print server name but it works just great now.

Thanks again,
Debbie
