My Dell 720 printer won't work with my dell 1521 inspiron laptop. Can you help me? It tells me that it is not compatible with it.
All printers are compatible to a degree.
What operating system are you running on your dell 1521 laptop? What drivers are supported on your Dell 720 printer?
If you are running Windows Vista on your laptop and there are only drivers for your printer up until Windows XP and nothing is on Dell's website for your printer in terms of drivers, then you can only try to run Windows Vista in Compatibility Mode.
If this doesn't work, then you'll need to get a new printer.
Remove the battery from its compartment on the side of your Dell Inspiron laptop computer.
Remove the power adapter from its plug on the side of the Dell Inspiron (if your laptop is currently plugged into a wall outlet).
Press down and hold the "Power" button on the laptop for one to two minutes. This will dispel the excess electrical current that is built up inside the laptop.
Put the battery back inside the compartment of your Dell Inspiron.
Plug your power adapter back into the side of the Dell Inspiron. Press "Power." Your laptop computer will now turn on.
hope this helps
