SLN130103_en_US__1icon Note: Dell is aware that not every printer will have drivers on the Dell Product Support site for the version of Windows installed on your computer. The drivers will be posted on the Dell Product Support site should they become available. As an alternative installing drivers from a previous version of Windows in compatibility mode may work in the meantime, some or all of the printer functionality may still work with the version of Windows installed on your computer. For more information, refer to Dell Knowledge Base article Installing Printer Drivers From a Previous Version of Windows. To find out what other drivers are available for your printer, please visit the Drivers and Downloads page.
