My windows 7 won't send anything to my dell 810 printer to be printed. The scanner part of it works but that's it. Why won't it send anything to be printed???

In the "Print" window verify that "Print to file" option is not checked.

IF THE LAPTOP YOU HAVE BROUGHT IS A DIFFERENT OPPERATING SYSTEM THEN INSTALL THE SOFTWARE THAT IS RELEVANT TO YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM. (IE XP, VISTA ,WINDOWS 7)

scanning is a bit of a trick. You have to have hardware to scan with, and SOFTWARE to receive images. Make sure the scanners imaging software suite has been installed, OR, you can use the scanner manager in windows to scan with. Just select the dell 810 as the "scanner source" and click "scan". that should do it.

Sounds like your cartridge may be unseated or it is really incompatible. You do not state clearly that you have printed successfully with this cartridge before.

Just copy and paste.
Hope this helps.

You need to get the scanner (TWAIN) driver installed. You should be able to download it of the Dell website.

Dear chibihamster, It seems that there is some loose connection in your printer. If you have a little knowledge in hardware, please open your printer carefully, check all the connected cable specially the printer head connector. The best way is that disconnect the printer head cable and reconnect it again. Do not do anything in your scanner circuit area, otherwise it will create you more problems. If this doesn't solve your problem, please contact the manufacturer. GOOD LUCK!!

Uninstall and reinstall the software. Normally the software installed on the computer controls the scanner functions for the all in one dell stuff. Check dells site also for any updates that might correct this issue.
