Dell a940 vista 64 bit driver

Search this subnet for all new printers: I'm assuming that I might be able to add this printer if I knew the IP address of the configured printer, but I do not know how to find that. I did the only thing I know how to do and went to a Command Prompt and did ipconfig. I tried the IP address that came up and the Subnet mask. Neither of those worked.

I did a little more digging online and tried typing in arp -a and got a few other IP addresses. I tried typing in all of these and none of them seemed to work, either. I then tried netstat -r and got a bunch of information that I couldn't really do anything with.

Some of it was the same IP addresses that I've already tried and some was other numbers that did not look like either IP or subnet masks. So, where do I go from here? My printer works on my network so that's not the issue. The issue is this bit laptop. I know it is connected to the network properly because I can access shared files on other computers on the network with no problems, the only problem is this dang printer!

Download the Vista bit driver for the A printer. Please remember to install the latest firmware for the A Printer. Sharing a printer through a wireless network. Thanks for the info, but unfortunately it still didn't work.

I went through step by step. I downloaded the patch and rebooted. I downloaded the driver, installed it, and it seemed to recognize the printer and install it, but when I tried to print a test page, nothing printed.

I brought up the printer box and under Status it said Printing - Error. I then realized that I had not done the last step, installing the latest firmware. I misunderstood the instructions I guess and tried to download it to the laptop and it didn't work. I then went back to the desktop and installed it successfully. I went back to the laptop and still had the same problem.

I then deleted the printer and went through the Add a printer wizard. That seemed to complete successfully, the laptop is finding the printer on the desktop but during the installation process I got an error message box that says "Connect to Printer", Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed error 0xd. What am I doing wrong? Okay, I decided to try one more time since I've now updated the firmware.

I ran the patch then installed the driver. During the driver installation, this happened last time and I didn't think about it. WHen I get to the "Select the printer you would like to install and click Next" screen, there is not printer shown. I click refresh and still nothing. I click then click Manual Add and continue from there. I choose "The printer is connected to another computer and shared with other computers on the network.

Peer-toPeer Client " Then I have to type in my Remote computer's name and the Shared printer's name, which I do exactly as they show up in my network and then click next. At this point, it goes back to the "searching" screen and finds the printer.

I continue withe the installation and everything seems to install okay. I get a window with "Dell AIO Printer A Installation" and it goes through several steps until the "overall install progress" is complete. The strange thing is that when I cancel the document, the screen that normally comes up when I'm printing from other computers, the one that shows the ink levels, comes up and then quickly disappears.

In order to delete the print job, I have to cancel it again. This is really baffling me. Any suggestions? Are you trying to install the printer on a network? Did you choose network installation and follow the instructions? On the Vista bit machine host computer , download and run this patch to completely remove the printer from the machine.
