I have had to have a major reinstall of Windows XP on my Dimension 4500 computer and, as a result,  I have had to reinstall my AIO 922 printer but now I cannot use it to print from my Dimension computer.    I have connected the printer to a USB port on the computer and this connection is acknowledged if I use Control Panel/Printers and Faxes, however, it will not print.   A new download of the 922  software listed in my programs runs but is incomplete - only the DELL Printer Solution Centre is found and there is an error message to say that the printer cannot be found.   However, I can use the scanning ability of the AIO 922 in one of my photo editing programs in order to acquire an image but I cannot print the edited picture.   The printer is set up for sharing on my home network but cannot be used by any other computer whilst it is connected to the Dimension 4500.

 

I have also tried it when it is connected directly to my Inspiron 8600 and then it will both print and scan  from that computer but not from the networked Dimension 4500.     The problems  may be caused by a network problem so I shall send a similar message to the Network Forum.     On the LAN I can transfer files between all of the computers on my system - see below.

 

Please can anyone offer some advice?
