Jeff,
Nice idea and well appreciated but I think I have exhausted the options
myself.
There seem to be a lot of hits on Google about people failing to get
this printer (a Dell 1320C colour laser) going with Windows 7. Seem to
be loads of mentions of the Windows printer spooler stopping etc.
If I can posssibly afford to replace it with something more reliable
then I will. There's nothing worse than a printer that fails over and
over again. It was those sort of problems that made me replace inkjet
with laser in the first place.

Hi Mike,
before you give up totally have you thought of using one of the RNIB
sighted volunteers?
I did and it really helped.
Having said that my history with Dell has been abysmal.

Subject: [access-uk] Printer Recommendations
Hello list,
Not really an accessibility question since most f us have little use
for a printer other than to print stuff for others eyes but here goes...
Over the weekend I had the usual hair tearing-out and swearing a lot
experience of trying to get my Dell laser printer driver installed for
Win 7.
I never got it working and judging from a Google search I'm not the
only one to have problems with Dell printers under Win 7.
So I'm looking to ditch the Dell and get another printer.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Mike
