schlo,

Follow these instructions below and let me know what happens.

First, let's make sure your computer has the latest Windows Updates, especially .net framework, needed to run many applications and the latest Java.

Disconnect your printer. Download and run this patch (Patch must be run on Vista machines) to completely remove the printer from your computer. Run the patch until it prompts you to restart your computer.

Restart your computer.

Download the proper drivers.

XP Drivers

Vista 32-bit Drivers

Vista 64-bit Drivers

All other drivers

Install the proper drivers. You'll be prompted when 6o connect yor printer(powered on)

Scanning

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.

schlo,   Yes, run the patch, it's like a cleanup utility. Why Dell calls it a patch is beyond me.     Rick

schlo,   When you go to print from Word, Make sure you have selected the right printer. I had an issue and it was set for Microsoft XPS Document Writer     Rick
