I have used the Printer 922 Installation disc on my new Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista, but it would not activate. After downloading patches from Dell, the printer works but not the scanner. How can I get the scanner to work?

For windows XP and Windows vista, you can download the drivers from the Dell Official Download site. Please follow this LINK and download your printer's drivers and software. You'll need to select your operating system.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.

The above link will take you to the Dell Support page for your printer. It has detailed instructions on what you need to do. Please follow them carefully and you should have no problems. And make sure you download the Windows Vista drivers.
windows Vista 64 bit it is important to run the Vista patch that you can download from the Dell website (Downloads and drivers). Run the patch, after removing the printer USB cable from
the computer then Restart the computer as the patch suggests and then install the Vista specific drivers, which also need to be downloaded from Dell Website. Again, do not connect the printer unless the installation software asks you to to do so Hope this will fix the problem
If your laptop is running Vista and your old desktop was running XP and the disk you got with your printer had drivers that worked with XP and Vista is not listed on them, it would be a case of incompatibility. You would need to go to the Dell website to download updated drivers for Vista if they are not of the standard Vista driver package. (The driver model changed between XP and Vista making XP drivers incompatible with Vista.)
what operating system are you using? if you have windows vista then go to the dell site, download the patch under the windows vista drivers. run the patch, it will remove all traces of the software then download the latest vista driver form the dell site and install it. if that doesnt work then try this.
1. Download the latest Vista driver. 2. Disconnect the PC from the network/Internet 3. Delete the printer 4. Disconnect the printer from the PC 5. Uninstall the software from Device Manager (you have to choose view, show hidden devices). Right click on the printer and choose uninstall. 6. Uninstall the software from the program group or the control panel. 7. Reboot 8. Delete everything in C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\ 9. Install the Vista Driver reconnecting the printer when the driver install calls for it.
Well download the driver for the printer and when you run the setup it gives and option to uninstall the previous installations,So u can try it that way.
I assume the old computer was not Vista This site has the vista 32bit driver for Dell 922 AIO http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/8761/
