Ooops - I guess you'r right. I don't know very much about=20
computers and I thought that it was an operating system=20
failure. I stand corrected! Now, I guess I'll "rave" at=20
Dell...

A quick glance at Dell's site
(
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...tures.aspx/fea
tured_printer2?c=3Dus
&cs=3D19&l=3Den&s=3Ddhs - Find out if compatible with your=20
operating system) would
reveal the following:
"The new Dell Personal All-in-One Printer A960, A940,=20
A920, 922 and J740
Inkjet are compatible with systems that run Windows=AE =20
2000 or Windows XP
operating systems only. If the system you plan to connect=20
to these printers
using operating systems such as, but not limited to:=20
Windows NT, ME, 95, or,
98 the A940, A920 and J740 will not be compatible."
you find confusing.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me (and is anyone=20
else
getting angry with Microsoft for selling us a operating
system that cannot keep up with the times)?
No, and why should I? Out of curiosity why do you think=20
Win Me should include
drivers for a printer that wasn't available until some=20
years after the
operating system was released? Provision of drivers is=20
the hardware
manufacturer's responsibility. In this case Dell have=20
chosen not to release
drivers for Win Me or any other Win 9x system. If you=20
are going to moan, moan
at Dell not Microsoft.

My home office is running Windows ME and I use a Dell=20

notebook for my other work office. I just purchased a

over a USB 2.0 port. My home computer (using Windows=20

tells me it cannot find a driver for the printer and the
printer is giving me a message (displayed on my Windows=20

is
wrong with Windows ME and how can I make my new printer
