Windows Forum / Windows Me / Printing and Faxing / August 2005Print driver for Dell 720 printer
The CD that comes with the new Dell 720 printer doesn't work with Windows ME operating system. Where can I download a Dell 720 printer driver that works with ME? If Dell does not have one, then it's unlikely that any driver will work.  SignatureRichard G.

Read the system requirements on the box before you open it.... it says for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Dell are not going to write any drivers for any Windows9x operating systems. I'd return it to Dell and get something that will work in WinME. ALWAYS check before you buy.

Since PnP will still show it as a Dell 720 instead of a Lexmark Z11, you may have to fiddle the installation's .inf file if it refuses to install. Rick > It's a rebadged Lexmark. I suspect life isn't that simple Rick. For example I believe that Dell have customised the printer so that it isn't able to use standard Lexmark cartridges.

I've had to kludge a few install programs for various reasons; you think the driver might have something in it as well ? might have to do something weird like making sure the printer is off while booting or something like that. Rick Dunno Rick, If anyone knows Cari will, for myself I wouldn't touch a Lexmark by any name even if paid handsomely - put it down to prejudice. :-) SignatureMike > Yeah I was reading some of that, too....
