Hello Rick

I tried both 32 and 64 bit Vista drivers,

I went through the installation of the AIO962 and installed it,but my system only see the 962 as a scanner and it works fine as scanner.

but my system does not recognize the AIO 962 printer driver,  this is noted on the bottom of the screen print below. (it is in dutch )

The 962 is listed as printer but 'driver not available'

so I made a step forward to use the scanner but hope you can assist to also use the printer.

The printer will work in English instead of Dutch

Rick

Rick,

Sorry to bother you again, I followed yr instructions carefully, but printer driver for the 962 remains unvailable or undetected by my system.

The scannner works fine, so I don't understand why the printer drivers are not detected.

I switched Windows 10 to English to make sure language is no problem.

Rick,

I finally managed to install the printer,

1. delete all installed AIO 962 software manually

2 install the Dutch Vista 64 R160799.exe

3 run the installation as 'administrator'

The next problem I run into is the ERROR 1203 Cartridge, but this may be a competibility problem of the cartridge (non Dell).

Thank you very much for your patience and help .

regards,

Cor

using competibility mode Vista 64bit and run as 'administrator

Cor,

Glad you got the printer installed.

Error 1203 is a very interesting cartridge error. It means your catridges overflow even from brand new catridges after a several prints or right after you refilled the catridges. Check to see if ink are smeared on the holder where the contact panel with the cartridge

Dell Series 5 ink cartridges have a sensor in them that cannot be reset. Article on refilling Dell ink cartridges.

Dell Series 5 ink cartridges can be purchased at Staples, Walmart or Dell's Website.

My Cannon printer (that I had lots of ink purchased ahead) broke after very few years of service.  So, I decided to get out my trusty Dell 962 printer that I had kept.  I couldn't believe that your links above worked better than the ones I had tried myself on Dell.  Thank you so much.  These work for Windows 10!
