Dell V305 printer in Windows 7 OS Requiring Older Version of NET Framework
How do I get the Dell V305 printer to work in Windows 7 OS without NET Framework V2.0?
I recently acquired a brand new Dell V305 All In One Printer which had never been taken out of the box! Knowing that there was an updated driver for V305 for Windows7, I downloaded and installed it.
The printer seems to be working fine via USB however, when trying to access the Tool Box app, I keep getting a message telling me that I need to download and install Microsoft .NET Framework V2.0. When I first boot up, I also get the same message. I've downloaded V2.0 however Windows 7 won't let me install it in Windows 7 OS. I all ready have the latest NET Framework. Every time I print, the printer status window tells me the printer is out of ink despite the fact that I recently put in new cartridges.
Shouldn't the solution have been included in the updated driver?
What to do?
Thanks.

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Error After Upgrading to Windows 7
Are you using Dell Series 9 ink cartridges?
If you unplug the printer from the wall and remove the power brick for 60 seconds, this will reset any error messages the printer has. I would then plug everything back in.
Power on the printer.
Open the printer(with the power on) and take out the Dell Series 9 black cartridge and then reseat it. I would then take out the color Dell Series 9 ink cartridge and reseat it. Now close the printer and it will print an alignment page.
Any error messages?
black cartridge = black side(left side) color cartridge = color side(right side)
photo cartridge = black side(left side) color cartridge = color side(right side)
Dell Series 9 ink cartridges have a sensor in them that cannot be reset. Article on refilling Dell ink cartridges.
Dell Series 9 ink cartridges can be purchased at Staples, Walmart or Dell's Website.
It's possible to get a Dell Series 9 ink cartridge with a bad sensor. I would take these back to the place of purchase for a replacement.
