How do you get dell A940 printer to install on vista 64 bit?

Question

The printer isn't installing even though the usb cord is connected to the computer. Where is there a download for a driver for 64 bit vista. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

big fella-

Hi, my name’s Cody, and I’m working with the Windows Vista Outreach Team to help answer questions folks might have about using their copies of Vista.  I see you had some questions about why your printer wasn’t working with the 64-bit version of Vista.

It certainly sounds like you might be having some compatibility issues between your printer and copy of Vista, but there’s a really easy way to resolve the issues. A good first  place to start will be Microsoft's new Windows Vista Compatibility Center, which you can find at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compati...

That site lets you search for specific hardware and software to not only see if they are compatible with a particular version of Vista, but also provides links to updated software and drivers.   If you can’t find what you are looking for at that site, Terry D has the right idea: you should check at the Dell website to see if they’ve released any recent updates or drivers that haven’t quite made it into the database yet.  

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Cody
