my brother had an older acer or asus? laptop with vista 32 on it.. used a del 720 color printer. great looking pics this thing spits out.
he upgraded to a new laptop the other day and I'm helping him get his stuff moved over and setup.
the laptop picked up drivers automatically for everything but the dell 720.
went to dell site.. found the driver package.. says it's good for 2000/xp/vista.
grabbed it anyway.. installed it.. windows shows the printer with the yellow ! sign. no driver. etc.
let it do it's automated soloution check.
came back and said there is a incompatibility with that printer and win7
and to:
try dell for updated driver ( apparrently not? )
or
try a compatibility setting.. but didn't tell how ????
any clues?
