Dell Photo Printer 720

Question

Hi folks,

Apologies if this information exists already. The Dell Photo Printer 720 is obviously a rebadged Lexmark. But which exact model ? I'm guessing on the Z series.

The reason I ask is that we received this printer with a Dell desktop and (big breath) would like to connect it to a Macintosh here in the office.

I note this forum states Lexmark inks are not compatible with 'Dell' printers so has this printer been altered to refuse other OS's as well.

Having tried various drivers I am at a lose.

Many thanks
Simon Street

Can anyone help? I have a dell photo printer 720. I have an old (Dimension 8100) and a new (Dimension XPS gen 3) computer. I would like to have my 8100 computer recognize the 720 printer, but, I have seemed to misplace my original driver cd. I cannot seem to find on dell the appropiate link to download that specific driver. I only see the Dell Photo Printer 540 driver, nothing for the 720. Am I missing something here? Does anyone know where I can find that driver?

Thanks so much!

Mark.

Hi there,   I need some help. Have tried the fix below but the compurt is not recognising either of the USB ports therefore not recognising that it is connected to a printer. When I go to Control Panel & printers I can choose COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 or local port. USB does not appear.   Does anyone know what I need to do ? Do I need to install some sort of USB driver?   It is a brand new USB cable and I have tried both ports.   Machine running on Windows 98.   Any advice would be appreciated.   Many thanks   Natalie

First to verify that your USB ports are working you should use a USB keyboard, mouse or even a memory key.   As far as the 720 printer the Operating Systems supported are XP and 2000. Here is a link to the user manual < ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>. Since your system is running Win98 this printer may not work.
