A firewall shouldn't be an issue unless the printer is networked or shared.
Is this the case?

Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes. Check the status of the printer.
Print a test page. If that fails it's likely the printer was not installed
correctly.

Did you have the printer's USB cable plugged in, and was the printer on when
you started the installation of the software? I recommend completely
uninstalling the printer. Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes. Remove the
printer. Uninstall the Lexmark software. Restart the computer start from
scratch.
