Dell A920 with Windows Vista

I have a new pc with Windows Vista but a cannot get my Dell A920 to connect to it.  The driver disc that came with the printer is not installing correctly because I believe it only works for previous Windows editions. I have a Dell 968w All in One Printer which is 13 months old and out of warranty. I just bought a new Gateway computer which has the Vista Home Premium operating system. When I try to open the system from the desktop icon to scan, I get the following message, "AIOC exe has stopped working". How can I fix this?

    Dear Nic,
    I downloaded and installed the drivers and the firmware from the Dell link that you provided but they did not solve the problem. Do you have any other ideas as to how I can solve this problem?

    Dear Nic

    I uninstalled the program, downloaded the Dell 968w All in One drivers and firmware from the link you provided and reinstalled the program as you suggested. This has not solved the problem. Do you have any other ideas as to how I can solve this problem?

    Hi Nic,

    Thanks for trying to help me fix this problem. Just to be clear, I do not have an A920 printer. I only have a Dell 968w All in One printer. Which of the links that you sent only applies to the Dell 968w? Thanks again.

Dell A920 Inkjet Printer is not communicating with an HP Pavillion dv6700 laptop with Vista Operating System

It could be related to Vista. Check Dells website to see if they have a Vista driver for it.

If you have another USB Cable you can try swapping it.

If you have a spare USB Port, you can try swapping that as well.

Dell A920 with Windows Vista

Believe it or not... the driver is buried on the Dell site for Vista 64-bit. I search and searched ... and there it was.

http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R153048&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=203948

In any case, I downloaded it, installed it, and it works fine. All the buttons (scan/copy) on the top work as well as printing. Now if I could just get my old XP machines to print to it on the network. But.. I think that is another thread.
