Dell V305 All in one printer
Hi,
I just bought a Dell all in one printer (DELL V305). When I try to use the scanner I select the Scan Menu, then over to scan to computer then it "thinks" Downloading Application List for a minute and then it says Cannot Retrieve Application List. How can I fix this? What are the Applications lists and how do I get them?

Linda,
I'm thinking you're losing your communications with the wireless router. Try installing the printer as directed below and see if your communications improves. I have been using these wireless router settings for a few years and I can always communicate with my wireless printer.
Disconnect your printer.
Un-install your printer.
Restart your computer.
Download the proper drivers.
XP Drivers
Vista 32-bit Drivers
64-bit Drivers
All other drivers
Update the firmware in your wireless router. Manufacturer's website, make & Model needed.
Broadcast SSID(You may want to change this to make it easier to connect)
Use WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security(WPA Personal). Most wireless devices work best with this type of security.
Mixed b and g mode(n if available)
Use channels 1, 6 or 11. Most devices work better on these channels.
Save and exit. Power everything off for 30 seconds. Power everything back on, wait 30 seconds, now try to connect.
