Dell Windows 10 Open Print Driver?
For Windows 10 users, if you have a printer and cannot find a driver, run this one and tell us what happens. We are somewhat curious about it.

I have a Dell 2135cn MFP and recently upgraded to Windows 10. In Windows 8.1 I had no problems printing and could scan with a USB connection to the 2135cn. Other program would list the 2135cn as an available TWAIN or WIA scanner but could not successfully conect with the 2135cn.
There is an available Win 10 driver and a scanner download for the 2135cn. I can get the print driver to work. No problem. But I can't get the scanner to work. The Open Print Driver shows options for scanning a document and reviewing scan properties. The Scan Properties option is unresponsive. The Scan a Document appears to work up to the point that the 2135cn is actually supposed to perform the scan. Then it returns message saying it failed. The 2135cn is connected through a USB Port (USB001) but the option to enable bidirectional support is grayed out..
If I understand correctly, the 2135cn cannot scan from the computer over a network conncetion. It needs a USB connection for control from the computer.
I've been trying to remove all of the Dell drivers and start for a "clean" state but the Open Print Driver keeps reappearing, even after removing and rebooting.
If you have any suggestions, they would be much appreciated.
