4. Scroll down the list of services, right click HP Network Devices Support, and then

click Restart.

5. After the service restarts, try using the HP device over the network again.
If you are able to use the HP device over the network, your network setup was successful.
If you still cannot use the HP device over the network or if you have to periodically perform
this step in order to use your device over the network, your firewall might be interfering.
If this still does not work, there might be a problem with your network configuration or
router. Contact the person who set up your network or the router manufacturer for help.
