To get your printer to work you should just need to download and install the driver from the manufacturers website. If your printer is still under warranty they should help you reinstall your printer drivers.\n\n1. Goto http://support.dell.com click on printers -> Dell Printers\n2. Under "printer troubleshooting" click on "Drivers and Downloads"\n3. Select your model of printer from the Product model and download drivers for XP. ** Remember where you downloaded them to and what the file is called. **\n4. ** UNPlug your printer from the computer.\n5. Check in Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs that there is not a listing for your dell printer, if there is uninstall it.\n6. Check in Start, Control Panel, Printers if your printer is already setup. If it it right click on it and delete the printer. \n5. Install the drivers by double clicking the file your downloaded. It should go thru an install program. Do not plug in your printer until it tells you. It might do this after the computer restarts.\n\nOnce everything is done and you have plugged in your printer check in Start, Control Panel, Printers and verify your printer is listed.

Open the Faxes and Printers on your computer. Can you see your Printer on the list? If not then install the appropriate printer for your printer. Restart and try again.

unplug the printer and plug it back in.  This should soft boot the printer and get rid of any false errors.\n\nAlthough the better option would be to replace printer with HP, that way you aren't stuck paying outrageous prices for cartridges from dell.

I has this problem also. I am really new to computers, so reading the manual is like reading rubbish. have you tried checking what connection the computer is hooked up to on the printer. for instance....my computer has a fax, photo copier, and a scanner, therefor, i have to choose what setting i need for the printer to work. it is a simple as one click.

Either your printer is switched off or your printers driver is not installed. You must install your printer bu going to START -> PRINTERS AND FAXES-> ADD A PRINTER

Look up the model of the printer online with the word driver in the search. It should be easy to find. Don't know about sound...depends if it is onboard or has a card. Again, look up the model number on the internet.

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

YOUR PRINTER SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A MANUEL. FIND THE SECTION LABELED TROUBLESHOOTING OR PROBLEMS WITH PRINTER.\nTHERE SHOULD BE A SECTION IN THERE FOR CODE 20.\nIF NOT, CALL THE MANUFACTURER.  GOOD LUCK.

The problem isn't the printer, the problem is the operating system.   Windows 98 has horrible USB support.  Either update the drivers though the Microsoft website, or put the printer on a LPT  port.
