You didn't say what trouble you are having with the printer.

POP3 is not a valid server name. You need to check with your email
provider to get their instructions for using their email server. If they
haven't written instructions for Windows Mail yet, use their
instructions for Outlook Express but under Windows Mail. The
instructions are probably somewhere on their web site. Or, you
could wait to see if anyone here knows where to find Comcast's
instructions.

The server name is incorrect.
The outgoing server should be named "smtp.comcast.net" instead of "POP3".
