Help... Dell All in One Printer 942

Hey all,.

I followed Rockstar Rick expert advise and reinstalled the drivers (after using the removal tool). All right except that I can't scan. Do I need to have the CD with the files from OCR or are available in some of these files? Any help is appreciated as I'm trying to fix my computer of the in-laws before returning tomorrow. Thank you!

CM

Before that everybody loses more time on this I found that their old install CD so averted crisis. Thanks for any help to come anyway!

    6. I can preview the document once I've selected the button that says "Scanner and camera" on the Control Panel, it takes me to a page where the document is located, the only thing I can do on this page is three things (1) overview of the document, (2) the document Scan or (3) cancel the document., I can't do anything else.

  • Reference Dell V 313 all-in-One Printer

    Recently, our 313 of V Dell all-in-One printer will print only an execution of an order given... the number of pages is irrelevant. Next time when I want to print, the printer icon small appears on the lower lip, the graph bar showing the beginning of printing appears, just at the top, and the printer sounds as if it starts to print, but only a couple of "grants", then a pause, then the printer stops, with the icon and the bar graph disappears from the display.

    The only way to get the printer to print the following command is to close all files, the printer and restart the computer. As soon as the computer has been restarted, and the printer turned on, without any other order, the printer starts printing the desired item.

    I uninstalled the drivers from Dell and downloaded the drivers from Dell official website of Dell, to see if this action makes a difference. I don't have.

    I'd appreciate deeply any suggestions on how I can adjust our PC to eliminate this mysterious hang up. Thank you.

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

    How to install Dell v515W on a Mac

    I tried this on my purchased v515W recently, but I guess that it also works with the v515 and other Dell all-in-one printers. I recently bought the v515W for my wife who is a user of Mac, only to find out that Dell has no Mac drivers for it. Somewhere on the Dell site, they have a typo at some point that the Mac drivers are available for the printer. I used my Windows machine to install the printer. After much trial and error, I finally managed to get the printer to work from a Mac wireless.

    1. Configure the printer from a Windows machine
    2. Open System Preferences-> Print & Fax
    3. Click the + to add a printer
    4. Hello will now detect the v515W by the name of the printer
    5. Mac will complain that he could not find the printer driver
    6. Manually select the print driver for 'Lexmark S300 S400 Series' in the search box where you can select the printer

    That's all it took to set up. Hope this helps,

    See you soon,.

    Thanks for your advice, which helped me to solve the problem of A960 Win 7 (64-bit).

    But in my case the following worked, and it's a little easier:

    1. If you have connected your A960 slot USB windows 7 hoping would provide the right driver via windows update: just remove the printer in Control Panel > printer > rightclick the printer > delete device.

    2. no need to use the dell clean utility. No need to uninstall under "Uninstall" since it shows that if the wrong driver was installed by windows automatically (but if you installed a wrong driver manually, you can have).

    3. download the Vista 64-bit Driver R153052.exe (or 32 bit, if applicable), links see PudgyOne post November 28, 2009 22:32.

    4. install the driver: by clicking on the first R153052.exe extract the files in e. g. C:\dell\drivers\R153052. Then right click the setup.exe in this file and change compatibility for Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    That worked perfectly in my case...
