These are instructions for an older version but should get you in the correct area to chage these settings.
Allowing Printer past McAfee
1. Open the McAfee Security Center and then click on the ‘Internet and Network’
2. To the right of ‘Internet and Network’ you would see all the services that are present under it, just below that you would have a button ‘Configure’ please click on that.
3. Now you would have the Internet and Network Configuration, in this window you would have an option ‘Firewall Protection in Enabled’ to the right of that you would have a downward arrow, click on that.
4. Then click on the ‘Advanced’ button which would have a new screen up.
5. To the left of that window you would have ‘System Services’ click on it and to the right pane of the window you would have the ports listed.
6. Please check the option which is for ‘Windows File Sharing’ then click on ‘Apply’ and then ‘Ok’
As for scanning, if you have the disk that came with the printer, then insert the Printer disk and stop it from running. Go to My Computer and double click on it. Look for the drive with the Dell disk in it. Right click on it, left click explore. Look for the OCR Folder. In the OCR Folder, there is an Abbyy Folder. right click on setup.exe, that's in the Abbyy Folder and left click run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.
I have tried everything. Still can't get it to work.
Could it be something wrong with my installation cd, for my printer? Is there a way I can manually install it? Also how can I delete my drivers and software for the printer? I uninstall the printer, but I don't believe it completely uninstalls it.

joy2253,
When you installed the hard drive, did you install the desktop/notebook utility and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
First run Delete Print Jobs to remove any stuck print jobs in the queue.
Disconnect the printer.
Uninstall the printer,
Restart your computer.
Insert the Dell 964 Printer disk and install. You'll get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at this time(powered on)
Try reading...
Update list of applications to send scans to
Also try these tweaks...
Go to device manager(right click my computer, left click properties, left click hardware, left click device manager)
Go to the USB Controller section and click the + sign.
Go to each USB Root Hub and right click on it, left click properties, left click power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.
Restart your computer.

Thanks so much

joy2253,
I used to own a Dell 964 Printer. I had it installed on...
XP Home Premium 32-bit
Vista Home Premium 32-bit and 64-bit
Windows 7 64-bit
It can be installed with the CD or with the drivers from Dell's website. I used the instructions located at...
Dell 964 Photo All-In-One Printer owners thread (W7)
There are reasons that printer will not install. People install the operating system and they install the drivers in the wrong order. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order The procedure they need to follow is Restoring Your Computer´s Software to the Factory Settings or How To Restore or Reinstall Microsoft® Windows® on a Dell™ Computer
Virus programs and firewalls block printer communications.
Malware or a corrupt operating system.
There were issues with theses items, maybe you have one of these.

joy2253,
To run the patch, with the printer disconnected. double click on it and it will run until it prompts you to restart your computer.
