Printer not communicating

#1 (**permalink**) 08-30-2008

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?

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