Windows printer 8 and Dell 942

I can't find a compatible driver.  Any ideas?  Thank you

DarleenC,

There is no Windows 8 drivers for this printer.

This may or may not work.

First run, delete print jobs to eliminate any print job stuck in the queue.

Unplug the printer.

Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

Restart your computer. Make sure that the printer is deleted. Deleting Manual printer driver

Download the 32-bit drivers for Windows 8 32 bit Vista or 64-bit drivers for 64 bit Vista Windows 8. Install the Vista drivers in Vista compatibility mode, you will get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at the moment (power on).

You will find links to the patch/drivers to...

Don't forget the programs anti-virus and firewall will block communications. If you do not install any virus program, Windows Defender is the default value. Try to read...

    You type a letter in a word processing program (Microsoft Word, Corel
    WordPerfect, OpenOffice, etc.). Do you have a word processing program
    installed?

    If you have not installed Word processing program, you can use
    WordPad, which ships with Windows. But note that WordPad is a very
    primitive processing program (really more a glorified text)
    Editor in Chief) and gives you much less control over the formatting to a real
    processing.

    I use Vista Home Premium on a laptop Dell 1545 Inspiron and Dell 968AIO wireless printer. I can't print the attachments of email but I can print several pages on the internet. I updated drivers and tried everything that other people have told me to try on other forums to the best of my abilities. I'm not otherwise qualified in computer science. Also, I will mention this all started when I restored my computer laptop back to factory settings. I did it because that's all I could think about. As far as coming back on my laptop, he did do the trick. Thus, suggestions, thoughts will be appreciated.

  • Windows 8 drivers for Dell 2335dn printer/Scanner

    The compatibility for Windows 8 Dell printer to http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?docid=572562 page shows the 2335dn compatible, but there is only some Windows 8 drivers on the driver download page for this printer.      I downloaded the 64 bit Windows 7 drivers (DELL_2335DN-MONO-LASER - MFP_A04_R302637.exe), but when I try to install, I get an error message in a window that says "this version of Windows is not supported.  Program will be terminated. »

    Where are drivers Windows 8 for the Dell 2335dn?

    I finally got this working on my computer Windows 8.1.

    First of all, download that Win7 both Win8 application installs Kiran links in this support thread.  Then, run the Setup program to install the drivers and application of Win7 which includes the scanner driver.  Finally, run the program installation to install the Win8 application and drivers, which will overwrite the binaries of Win7 and install the good printer drivers and application Win8 (although the scanner driver missing at the start of the installation of Win7).

    That leaves me with features both the scanner and the printer working on my machines from 8.1 to win!

    Hope this helps,

  • HP Envy 4500: Print jobs disappear from the print queue and not print (Windows 7).

    I just bought a HP Envy 4500 printer,

    When you attempt to print from a PC with windows 7 OS home pro (64-bit), the print job appears in the queue and then disappears, but the printer does not print anything.

    Everything else seems to work very well know

    • The printer prints the internal test page
    • The printer does print when you use iPad2
    • The printer does print when you use ePrint
    • The PC recognizes and communicates with the printer (tried with USB connections and wireless)
    • Analysis feature works very well - when initiated from the PC and printer

    I tried

    • uninstalling and reinstalling the software (several times using software from different sources)
    • restart the printer queue service
    • Disabling the firewall
    • running printing HP and doctor Scan
    • following the instructions described here (the question is the same but the different operating system):

    Print jobs disappear from the print queue and print (Windows 8)

    • combinations of all of the above

    Absolutely no joy in any of them, and in spite of more than 2 hours of research on Google and forums search I can't find a solution.

    HP... can you give me a solution or is that goes back to the shop?

    Well I finally worked on the fix myself by trial and error.  I changed the security settings for 'All' and 'Creator owner' to 'Print' and "Administer Documents".  Why on earth they were not automatically allowed as part of the installation, I couldn't really say.

    Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.
