It seems that Dell does not have Windows 8 drivers for that printer. Try the Windows 7 ones, they may work.

I have the same issue with my Dell 3100 laser...no Windows 8 drivers. Currently, I'm using a Windows 7 virtual machine if I really need to print something.

Hey,

Cheers for your help. I've downloaded the most recent driver which is XP. However, while it is installed (and it shows up as installed in 'Devices and Printers'), my printer, with the exact same name also shows up in 'Devices and Printers'. When I hover my mouse over my printer, it says driver unavailable. So, I tried to update the driver manually. This didn't work either.

How do I run it in compatibility mode??

If I have the correct printer, there is a Win7 driver for it.

Thanks very much. :)

I know it says win7 on the title, but when you read the product description it just says Vista. I tried it though, and it still doesn't work :( I don't suppose you know how I could run it in compatibility mode??

Much Appreciated,

Aaron
