Windows 8 Drivers for Dell 2335dn Printer/Scanner
The Dell printer compatibility page for Windows 8 at http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?docid=572562 shows the 2335dn as compatible, but there are no Windows 8 drivers on the driver download page for this printer. I downloaded the Windows 7 64-bit drivers, (DELL_2335DN-MONO-LASER-MFP_A04_R302637.exe) but when I try to install, I get an error message in a window that says "This Windows version is not supported. Program will be terminated."
Where are the Windows 8 drivers for the Dell 2335dn?
No Events found!

I finally got this working on my Windows 8.1 computer.
First, download both the Win7 and Win8 application installs from Kiran's links in this support thread. Then, run setup to install the Win7 application and drivers, which includes the scanner driver. Finally, run setup to install the Win8 application and drivers, which will overwrite the Win7 binaries and install the correct Win8 application and printer drivers (although leaving the missing scanner driver from the Win7 install).
Doing this leaves me with both the scanner and printer features working on my Win 8.1 machines!
Hope this helps,

Hi hmsmith54,
I suggest that you connect the printer to the system and check the drivers via ‘Automatic system updates’.
If this doesn’t work, request you to use the below link and download windows 7drivers and check if it works:

http://dell.to/T1PEbY

If this also doesn’t work I request you to wait until windows 8 Drivers are launched on the support site (Timeframe is not fixed). Since it is mentioned that the printer is compatible with windows 8 the native drivers for windows 8 will be available.

The Windows 8 drivers for the Dell 2335dn are now available on the Dell download site. Unfortunately, the new Dell-Application download does not include the PaperPort scanning software I have come to rely on for scanning and storing documents. Has Dell dropped support for this application or will it be provided in future updates?

Hi hmsmith54,
I request you to use the below link, download the file and check if the application works:

If this doesnt work, please use the Windows Fax and scan option which is available in the computer. This option will work even if the software/application doesn’t get installed.
