You can't use the Windows drivers to install the 720, you have to install the CD that came with the 720, or download the drivers from support.dell.com.
I do have the Dell 720 CD. My OS doesn't support Dell, but it does suggest that I find the most compatable printer to the 720. Hence, my question, does anyone know what the most compatable printer to the 720 is? Please help me if you do. Thanks.
You said you have Windows 2000, if that's true then your OS is "Dell Compatible." All you have to do is run the setup file on the 720 CD to install it. It has nothing to do with "compatible printers."
Hey pal, look closely at your 1st post..you said "i DO have Windows 2000." Before being a jerk to me for trying to help, try proofreading your post. I answered you post trying to be nice based on the info you gave me (which was wrong!!) Then you have the nerve to say you know what you're talking about...please.
So sorry, BlueSide. Before I submitted my own question I read a lot of other posts and it seemed like people tend to put in their "know it all" two cents without ever really answering the question. I was on a deadline and trying to avoid that.
My original intent in saying I had the 2000 was because I knew that a 98 wouldn't support a Dell. But my 2000 isn't doing me one bit of good in installing this 720, so apparently it wasn't worth mentioning in my 1st post. And yes, I still know what I'm talking about.
Apologies all around for being such a jerk to you.
Just to make sure we are all on the same page, there is a HUGE difference between windows 2000 and windows millennium.
Not sure if you got this working or not but if you are running an OS besides windows 2000 or XP I would love to know how you got it going. I tried to follow the link provided above but it just timed out.
Seriously though man, this is a terribly worded question..
