Can I make my Dell AIO964 wireless to work with my laptop (Windows 7)
I have a Dell AIO964 wired printer connected to my Dell PC which is running XP. I have bought a Dell laptop which is running Windows 7. I would like to be able to print from my laptop wireless through my wireless router. Would this be possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

lifeandsoul,
On the Windows 7 machine...
First run Delete Print Jobs to remove any stuck print job in the queue.
Disconnect the printer.
Download and run the patch(printer cleanup utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.
Restart your computer. Make sure the printer is removed. Manual Printer Driver Removal
Download the Vista 32-bit drivers for Windows 7 32-bit or the Vista 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 64-bit. Install the Vista drivers in the Vista Compatibility mode Choose network and follow the instructions.
Links to the patch/drivers can be found at...

Hi Rick,
Is all this done on the laptop (W7) or on the PC (XP)?
Once I have completed tasks, am I still able to use the printer with the PC as well as laptop?
Thanks
