can't Windows 7, Dell 720 printer

I recently installed Windows 7. I can't get my Dell 720 printer. The computer reconizes it, but when I hit print it will send it not at all or an error 0 x 00000006 rises. I called dell and they said that my printer is not compatible... is there a way to get around this or I have to buy a new printer for Windows 7? I tried the windows troubleshooting and some drivers, but any suggestions are welcome. I'll repeat things I've already done if you think they will work

No use to try if Dell said it wont. "There is no substitute for drivers to work in Windows.

  • How can I install my printer model Dell 720 on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7

    I have the software for my Dell 720 printer, but it will not install on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7.  It works fine on my Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP.  I would use this printer with my new system

    Dell is not a Windows 7 driver for this printer.  The closest thing they have is a driver for Vista 32 bit.  So your options are to (1) Download 32-bit Vista driver and try to install in compatibility mode, (2) use XP Mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, (3) buy another printer.

    You can download the Vista 32-bit driver

  • Windows cannot recognize the printer after the print job is canceled

    When I installed my printer Epson XP - 410 on my laptop Windows 7, the installation of program established three identical icons in the box "Show hidden icons" system tray, a 'Epson XP-410 series named' and others adding "(Copy 1) and (copy 2) that." It was not critical until today when I ran in the paper and cancelled the print job. Now rather than see the icon for XP - 410 as before, Windows Live Photo Gallery is only to see the icon (copy 2) and the properties of the printer selection under print settings is looking for a printer that does not exist, say is not ready, showing without ink, etc..  Anyone know how I can get Windows to recognize the printer that is there instead of look for one that is not there? I tried to customize under Show hidden icons, but when I change the status of the any icons, they change all three at once. Any help would be so appreciated...

    Hi Robert,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the exact error message you get when you give the print command?
    2. You have related driver printer disks to install the printer?

    The question may arise if the package of printer from the printer model driver is either not installed correctly or has been corrupted.

    In order to diagnose and solve the problem, I would say, try the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Run the printer Troubleshooter and check if that helps. He made sure that a printer is connected to your computer, and it checks for common issues such as whether the printer has enough paper and toner to complete printing your document.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Try to uninstall and reinstall the last full have printer drivers and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1: Uninstall the printer drivers installed in the system

    • Open programs and features, click Start > Control Panel > programs and features.
    • Find and select Epson printer drivers in the list of programs.
    • Click Uninstall and follow the instructions on the screen.
    • Reboot your system.

    Step 2: Reinstall the printer drivers

    Reinstall the latest drivers at the following link that is compatible with Windows 7.

    Epson XP-410

    Hi John - thank you for your response. For the benefit of someone else who has this problem, I was able to perform a miracle. Went to Start - devices and printers, found three printers instead of one year, removed the two copies and who has also removed the two unwanted icons in the systray. Now, everything's fine. Hope this helps someone.  Thank you, Christian...

  • Why Firefox hang when I open the printing preferences to print Web pages on my Dell 720 inkjet, after that Windows XP gives me the warning on a protection fault 0 x 0000005?

    I can copy text from websites and paste it into MS Word, where I can print fine in B & W or color. I can print from wordpad, too. And I had no problems printing in Internet Explorer. I'm just cannot open the printing preferences window when you use Firefox 7.0.1 and I don't have any add-ons like "Print Print Preview Update" (Acrobat, Silverlight, Office, and a few others). Firefox crashes when I try to open the printing preferences, but I am still able to print, only in the default settings. I use a Dell 720 inkjet connected to an IBM Thinkpad R51e with reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP3, processor Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz 1.87 GB RAM (added). I installed the printer driver before connecting the printer, and I use Avira antiviral software. This laptop has had problems in the past, but I don't want to give up on this. Please ask if you need more information.

    I completely removed Firefox 7.0.1 and replaced by 5.0.1 and now I can open the printing preferences. Follow these instructions:

    Create a system first, restore point if you want.

    Then, click on start, Control Panel, programs and features. Uninstall Mozilla Firefox.

    Reach...

    If 32 bits...
    C:\Program Files

    If 64-bit...
    C:\Program Files (x 86)

    And delete the Mozilla Firefox folder.

    This should give you a fresh start. Then install the old version. Just bookmarks can be imported from Internet Explorer or registered before switching versions
