Help, Computer doesn't recognize printers.

Question

I have a desktop Dell Demension 3000 running Windows XP. I have a small Dell printer (came free with a laptop) and a Dell Photo 926 printer. I cannot get the computer to print to either of these printers. I bought the 926 because I thought the other printer was only for laptops, not desktops . When I print, my little print status window appears in the lower right corner telling how much ink and percentage etc. The percentage stops everytime at 99% and won't complete the job.   Questions are is this a spooling defect with the computer? Lack of memory? Or perhaps something completely missing in the computer software?   Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.   Jake

It just sounds like a small installation problem. Here is how to fix the problem.

Disconnect your printer. Download and run this patch to completely remove the printer from your computer. Restart your computer.

Now go to drivers and downloads/select product/printers/select your printer. Download drivers.

Install your printer drivers. You'll be prompted when to connect it.

Scanning using USB connection, open the Dell All-In-One Center, click on scanning and copying and scan from there.

Scanning wirelessly, use the scan buttons on the printer.
