Printer not communicating

I have a new PC with Vista. Had difficulty installing my existing Dell 962 all in one printer, but finally got it to print and scan. Then suddenly it stopped working. I get a message "Printer not Communicating". I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling multiplt times, but I am unable to get it to work. Can anyone help?

Re: Printer not communicating

Obvious first thing is to ask DELL re any issues with their 962 printer and
Vista.
