Dell will send you an install CD free of charge regardless of being out of warranty or not.

The OCR software is also included in the drivers download.  You can access the driver download for Dell Printers at the following link:

I have no idea why I am being sent this thread, My problem has nothing to do with this issue and I also have nothing of value or interest that I can share with eva or lynn. I will say one thing though. I feel your pain. My Computers and printer have been "jacked-up" since day one, and believe me "jacked-up" ain't nothing nice, says Pedro!!!!!! 

Don't know what's going on with this link.  Perhaps one of the Mods can take a look at this, however, you still can get to the driver through the "Drivers & Download" link on the main Dell Support Site (support.dell.com)  Here is the link directly to the 922 printer.  I just checked it and it seems to work:

Lynn-again, I follow Krakster advice of asking Dell for a new CD. They sent me the CD to install my printer software again (it contains the OCR driver), and now my printer doesn't have any problem. You can ask for a CD too. When I sent them the e-mail explaining them what happened with my printer they answered me back and gave me some steps that I had to follow to install the program correctly. If you need them, please let me know, this is my e-mail address gaoe_82@yahoo.com. If you don't do it correctly it is not going to work. I didn't follow the steps the first time that I tryied to install the software, that's why I'm telling you.

I am also having a problem with the ocr, yet I have the software installed.  it seems there is a problem with the application on this printer.  I don't know how to solve it.
