Fixing Dell AIO 922 on Windows 7

My junior tech upgraded a few desktops in the office to Windows 7. This instantly broke a number of things, one of which was the DELL all-in-one printer-fax-scanner. Microsoft Windows 7 drivers do not work for this scanner device (surprise surprise).

To get this working under Windows 7.

  1. Unplug the device and remove the printer and the drivers.
  2. Goto the DELL support site and download the R166239.zip file.
  3. Unzip and run the application.
  4. Restart the computer.
  5. Download and install the driver and application R151371.exe
  6. Plug the device back in
  7. The install will complete and you’ll have a nice scan application which works.
