Dell 720 Photo Printer driver that WORKS

After nearly giving up, this forum recommended a driver that Dell no
longer supports (according to their site they no longer have any vista
driver for this printer) but I finally located it, downloaded it,
unzipped it and installed it, having nothing to lose. I have two of
these printers :) and was ready to throw them away. Was I surprised.
It now works perfectly. The driver is R148368,exe, and will show as
Driver version 164.228 when installed. Thanks, Vistaheads.

Where did you find the driver?
or can you make it available for downloading?
I need it as well.

Yes, I had been to the Dell support site.
I went again. This time I think I have tracked it down there.
Dell 720 driver for Vista

I will give this a try.

I can try to attach it to an e-mail (I might have to send the whole
folder of drivers as I'm not very good at this

Have you tried the Dell support site?

Insert ink cartridges (if installing printer for the first time). Remember to take the tabs off the cartridges before placing them in the printer, because if you do not, you will not see anything printed.

Power on you computer system. It should recognize that new hardware has been attached to the computer.

Insert driver disc, (or download from website using the link in the reference section). The disc should auto play. If not, go to My Computer, and double click the drive that the disc is in.If you download the driver, save the file to a place on your computer (such as My Documents or Desktop) so you can find it, because it's file name will be something hard to recognize as a printer driver. Double click the file once you have saved it your computer.

Since I can not see the OPs post, as your forum leaches off the Microsoft
newsgroup and if you don't copy the OPs message we, using a true newsreader,
can't see previous messages.

This printer originally shipped with Windows 2000 and XP drivers. The
installation disk that shipped does NOT have any Vista compatible drivers on
it. The OP must download the Vista 32 bit driver from
http://support.dell.com/support/down...g=en&TabIndex=.
If the OP is using a 64 bit version of Vista, the printer may not work with
it as there are no Dell supplied drivers available online. The Vista 64 bit
"add Printers" setup may have drivers but since I do not use Vista 64 bit I
do not know.
