Lexmark Business Products: Workarounds and Fixes for Windows XP SP2

Overview The Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 presents an impact to specific functions in a portion of Lexmark software. This white paper details the known fixes to enable adopters of this service pack to workaround issues uncovered in the field for supported PS&SD software. With Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Windows Firewall (previously called the "Internet Configuration Firewall") adds multiple security restrictions in the Windows registry, and is enabled by default. Many of the functions described in this White Paper deal with firewall issues, as the new Windows Firewall will prevent many of the Lexmark software components from communicating properly with network-connected devices.
