| Vista Ultimate x64 sp2 | Dell A940 all in one? Hi all, i've been trying in vain to get a older Dell A940 all-in-one printer to work with my new home built Vista 64 system. I had no problem getting the printing to work. But i can't get the scanner to work. I was curious if anyone here used this printer/scanner and how to get scanning again. Pushing the scan button on the actual A940 does nothing. This trusty printer worked perfectly on XP and i wasn't quite ready to buy a new one yet. Edit: I figured out that Windows Fax and Scan works perfectly as a substitute for the software that came with the printer in '03. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks. :-) Last edited by cwatson71; 02-06-2008 at 09:28 PM.. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 sp2 | Re: Dell A940 all in one? I'm not sure Kevin, but i got scanning working using Vista's built in Windows Scan and Fax. The printing drivers Vista found worked great from the get go. This huge boat of a printer still works so i saw no need to buy a new one just yet. |

According to the Dell website at http://support.dell.com/support/down...&catid=&impid=, they do not support the A940 on 64 bit Vista, only on the 32 bit. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "cwatson71" <cwatson71.34e2o2@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:cwatson71.34e2o2@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...
