    Well first of all is everything set in the same IP range? Can you ping back and forth? What driver are you trying to use? Not sure that this model is supported by anything past windows XP. would have to check to be sure. Can you bring up the web interface?

      If you're using the setup wizard to add this printer you may want to call a qualified tech who has experience working with the Fiery. The configuration is not for a novice. You need to make sure that the fiery has an IP address on your network (configure manually) as well as making sure that you have the correct driver...

        Do you use a lpr port? The old Fiery's didn't have the port 9100 activated by default.
