Dell A940 printer problem
I installed Windows 7 on my computer; and all my programs work very well; However, I have problems in the installation of a printing device - Dell A940 printer. I installed from a CD disk printer drivers, I used the drop down options of the menu adding a printer printer, but whenever I have a test page, I get a message "impossible operation completed (error 0 x 00000006).» Your help to make my Dell printer to work in this environment of W7 is much appreciated.
There is no Windows 7 for the A940 drivers and Vista drivers are not compatible with Windows 7. You need a new printer.

I continue to have printing problem and looking for help... I have a dell laptop and a Dell V510 printer can print via USB and WiFi connection. I can print one document and have no problem. When I try to print a second thing, whatever it is, it won't print... When I opened my printer dialog window it shows it is printing, but does not print... He keeps saying that it is printing until I restart my PC. I can try to cancel printing or to delete and it will say delete but never remove... I deleted a doc Friday, he said it was delete the print job and I watched the next day and it still says it has been delete... I can't understand why I can print only one thing and then my not ever printed anything again until I reboot... I ran convenience store and it does not find problems... someone said something about a coil problem but I don't know... Please help.
JamesT23,
In the latest batch of updates to Windows, Microsoft has installed Internet Explorer 11. IE11 caused printer problems.
Open Internet Explorer, click on help, then click about words of Internet Explorer. It should show the version here. If you IE11, then go to control panel, Windows Update, updates installed, look for Internet Explorer 11. Click Internet Explorer 11, uninstall.
Restart the computer when you are prompted. Then see if your printer works.

Internet printing using dell V505 printer problems all in one
have dell V505 printer all-in-one. Some print orders follow completely, some don't at all, some printing course and stop all of NET applications. Whats up how much - what I do
OT: printing problems
Hi Judy,.
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community
From your problem description, I understand that you are not able to get some tracking of print through completely controls. Please let me know if you do not experience this problem.
What web browser do you use?
I suggest you try the following
Method 1: Some webpages specify exactly where text should print on the page. If the Web page you're printing specifies exactly where the text should print, Shrink To Fit will not work. You work around this problem by setting a custom preview before print scale factor. For more information about print preview, see
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/print-webpages#IE=IE-9Method 2: Open the printer Troubleshooter
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter
Method 3: we will try to uninstall the drivers for the printer from the computer.

Hi, I have Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer and my Dell A940 printer will not scan even if I uninstalled and re installed IT... for some strange reason, the all-in-one center that supports digitization of print etc is not on my computer at all... is the solution Center, but not the center of the option to make the projects... How can I fix it?
To fix your printer problems, visit the manufacturers Web site.
To determine if your printer is compatible windows, visit the windows Compatibility Center.

printer Dell A940 does not print not since upgraded to windows 7
Updated from XP to windows 7 spending years trying to get my Dell A940 print victory says no driver installed. Had the driver, but will not print continues to go to print
Hi Frank,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
Not based on printer model information you provided, there is no driver available for Windows 7. Most programs written for Windows Vista also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try changing the compatibility of the program settings, either manually or by using the program compatibility problems. I suggest you to uninstall the printer drivers and to consult the suggestions in the link below:Download Windows Vista drivers and install in compatibility mode
Make older programs in this version of WindowsDriver details ( the link is for the 64-bit OS)http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R153050
Hope this solves the problem. If the problem persists, you can write back to us and we will be happy to help you further.

Dell A940 Windows 7 compatibility
I have nothing seems to allow me to connect my (admittedly a bit older) Dell A940 printer all in one to my Dell XPS laptop. I think that it is a driver compatibility problem. Can anyone think of a way through this?

Installation of the Dell AIO 926 printer problems
I have a Dell 530 s computer Vista Home Premium and a Dell AIO 926 printer. For some time now, I had a problem after printing 3 or 4 times that I wll get a message that the printer Interface was lost or something similar.
I uninstalled the printer and have installed many times online and on the driver CD. The printer installs and I can print. However, for Fax or Scan, I have to go the the program and open it. When I go to programs, Dell printers, Dell Photo Printer AIO926 the only thing it is the uninstaller.
I really need to be able to scan.
Help ~!
In case anyone else has this problem; I had to turn off my Norton Firewall and it works ~!
Hi joelash1,
As you have already reduced to Norton firewall causing the problem.
It is possible that an exception should be created in Norton firewall to resolve the problem.
I suggest that first update you the Norton firewall and check if it works.
If that does not solve the problem, then you will need to contact Symantec for more information about adding exceptions in the Norton firewall.

I hope this helps!

Installation problems: Dell AIO Printer 962
I can't install my old printer (Dell AIO Printer 962) to my new laptop which is running Vista. Can you help me please?
Knowing that, here's a better link for the driver and firmware and utilities: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WV64&catid=-1&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=EN&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=PRN_ALL_A962&hidos=WW1&hidlang=en&TabIndex=&scanSupported=True&scanConsent=False.
I can't talk to you throughout the process - is too long and there are too many things that could should be made according to which past that are best addressed in the manual that I have provided a link to in the previous post. I'm not able to write my own manual and even I tried I did not have the information and I'm not going to read the manual myself and then try to say it in other words for you - it would take too long and would be better.
This can help you with the installation of Vista: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-install-local-printer.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask specific questions as you go along, if you have any problems, but be specific (not "How do I install it").
Good luck!
