Dell 1720dn and Windows 98
Hi there,
I'm trying to find drivers that will enable my Dell 1720dn monochrome laser printer to work with Windows 98. I tried the XP/2000 drivers and (unsuprisingly) they didn't work.
Does such a driver exist? If not, is there any other way I'll get it to work with Windows 98?
Thanks,
dcs

I have a Dell 1920dn and had problems getting a driver.
I went to the Dell Support site and downloaded a Dell 1700n driver for WIN9x/NT and it
works just fine (but don't expect duplexing).
Good Luck,
TallPaul

The Dell Driver name that works for your 1720dn is: 1700_Dell_AAP_Win9xNT_Drivers_en.exe
Please let me know if it works you.
FYI - I went round and round with the Dell Support folks. They suggested trying the 1720dn XP driver
and the 1720dn WIN2K drivers (neither of which worked). Their support staff is clueless.
In my case the 1720dn is network attached to a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router via an ethernet cable.
I installed it via my WinXP Desktop Gateway System. Now it is finally reachable on a wireless attached WIN98SE Dell Inspiron 7000 Laptop (1999 purchase date - a working relic).
