Problems installing a940 printer driver on new HP with XP

Hi Barbra,
Check all connections.
Have you installed the printer drivers?
Try un-installing and installing the printer drivers again.
Was there change in the operating system?[Say you were using windows xp and now you're using windows vista]You may need to install the driver that corresponds with your operating system.You can download the drivers from this link:www.siliconguide.com/drivers/device/583/

Hope this helps.Thanks!

Go toy www.dell.com, click on the support link. Lookup your specific pronter model #. A list of all available software/drivers will appear. Download and install the ones pertaining to the operating system you are running. You should be all set. Hope this helps.

Go to this page courtesy of Dell and they have your driver for XP for that printer:

Its the first one that says Dell-Driver

I have the same problem but with an acer 5570Z. It used to work with the dell all-in-one, however, one day it just stopped working. It always says it cannot communicate with the printer. I've tried uninstalling it, and reinstalling it several times---no luck.

hmm..ok..if the test page is good, then it's in the drivers. get new ones, remove old ones first, re install try again.

Starting ******* and doing drugs, screw this era. I hope the whole entire thing crashes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vista is a brand spanking new OS. Your printer may need updated drivers to be compatable with vista. It should otherwise install automatically as it has in past. Go to dell website, and download the most recent driver (vista compatable) from them. It wouldn't hurt to see if cahnges in manual too and download it also.
