Try vista drivers though I would suggest because they should be the same as Windows 7. There are good printers if you are going new just find something that has a shelf life of more than 2-3 years. They make printers but no drivers for Unix you might get lucky to get mac driver. Printers use LPT or Serial connections with the exception of Network printers. The new ones print but arent true printers in a sense like a mouse is a mouse or a keyboard is a keyboard. I remeber when printers were actually line printers. The other problem relies on the industry. If dell has a 64 bit driver for vista try it with the add hardware wizard. Not a good Idea to run 64 bit until you can account for all drivers you need. The trick is try and run the installer in compatibility mode. 32 bit Windows 7 could probably use 32 bit driver from XP thats not signed. Dell would have to provide a driver that is signed. The problem is not Windows 7 but the 64bit. What can I do if my hardware does not work?

Thanks for your time and understanding!įor more details, please look at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed you might wait or push the device manufacturer to upgrade its driver. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box then try installing the device driver via Run as administrator. If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode. In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version. Note : Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. First you might go to Device Manager, right click your printer device in the list and select Update Driver Software then click Search automatically for updated driver software or directly download the latest driver from Microsoft Update Catalog.
