I am trying to uninstall my Dell P703W AIO Printer because I've been having major problems with scanning and printing through WiFi and when I try to uninstall it through Control Panel, it tells me that the uninstall failed. How else can I uninstall this printer? I was going to try re-installing after but not sure if I even want to keep it since it doesn't work well wirelessly.

Go to control panel the programs and features to uninstall any thing
you could of course right click on the printer > properties , > compatibility tab > click square and high l
tight your operating system ( win xp , vista , win 7 etc) > apply and ok first
any drivers for the printer should be downloaded from Dell web site and not through the win site list so check all of that first

SOURCE: Scanning problem with A940 AIO Dell printer/scanner

    Hi there, just found this solution to work perfectly. i just freaked out for a moment with the same problem. Use this or just type fax and scan in your help function. Hope this helps!

    Before you begin, make sure that you've installed your scanner on the computer and that the scanner is turned on.
  1. Windows Photo Gallery.
  2. Click File, and then click Import from Camera or Scanner.
  3. In the Import Pictures and Videos window, click the scanner that you want to use, and then click Import.
  4. In the New Scan dialog box, click the Profile list, and then click Photo. The default settings for scanning a picture are automatically displayed.
  5. If you're using a scanner with a document feeder, click the Paper size list, and then click the size of the picture that you've placed on the scanner or click the size that most closely matches the picture.
  6. Click the Color format list, and then click the color format that you want the scanned file to display.
  7. Click the File type list, and then click the file type that you want to use to save the scanned file.
  8. Click the Resolution (DPI) list, and then click the resolution, in dots per inch, that you want to use.
  9. Adjust the brightness and contrast settings or type the values that you want to use.
  10. To see how the picture will appear when it is scanned, click Preview. If needed, modify the scan settings, and then preview the picture again. Repeat these steps until you're satisfied with the preview results. Some scanners might require you to place the picture in the document feeder each time that you scan.
  11. Click Scan. When the scan is complete, Windows Photo Gallery prompts you to tag the picture so that it's easier to organize or find later.
  12. In the Tag these pictures (optional) list, type a tag name, and then click Import. Windows Photo Gallery displays the picture so you can view, fix, or organize it.

SOURCE: can't scan from my Dell AIO 946

OK, I can't believe I'm actually solving anyone's problem, but, this is what solved it for me. Following the instructions in my 946 AIO Owner's Manual, on page 87, there is a heading called Removing and Reinstalling Software. It says if your printer is not working correctly or if communication error messages appear, you can remove and reinstall the printer software. I did just that and my scanner is now back in service!!!! Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Dell 810 will not scan

I was able to get it to scan using the camera and scanner wizard through control panel, printer and faxes. On the left chose scanners and cameras in "other places" then when you see the dell printer click it and it will start the wizard. Make a shortcut to it to use again easily. I have given up trying to fix it!

I think you will find it reports low ink as a warning to give you time to go out and buy replacement ink cartridges. Do not change the ink until it is empty . or not printing the particular colour.

I have a Dell P703 and want to scan photos to a flash drive but the printer will not, it keeps asking for a memory card when I insert a memory care I receive the message "Please insert memory...

I'm not so sure that this printer supports scanning photos to a flash drive. If you take a look at the user guide, the only advice given about scanning problems is that they want you to make sure the printer is attached to your computer properly.

This leads me to believe that what you are trying to do is not supported. The USB por that is available is most likely used to plug in a camera directly so that pictures can be copied from it and printed.

Printer status window interface stopped working dell AIO 926

I know this sounds too simple, but get a new USB cord. I had the exact same problem and it was driving me crazy. I followed all the advice about uninstalling, reinstalling and updating multiple times and it never fixed the problem. Finally, my husband made the simple suggestion that maybe it was a problem with the connectivity of the USB cord. I didn't have much faith in it, but I bought a new USB cord and hooked it up - and I have never had a problem with the printer since then. My original USB cord (the one replaced) was the one that came with the Dell printer - perhaps there is a flaw in the cord somewhere. ?

Dell photo p703w all in one printer won't print

Try turning your printer off, then turning it back on. This usually helps, also you could try to make sure that your connection with the your computer is stable.

Dell 946 printer wont scan on windows vista

This is your driver causing the problem. If the download was for several printers you can try to reinstall the driver manually for your specific printer. If the driver was supposed to be for your specific printer then dell has put out a bad driver which they do sometimes. You can try alerting them through their forums,their customer support, or call them and once they know they have a problem, they're usually pretty quick to fix it.I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver first though sometimes they don't install right if the computer is under a heavy load.
