Please follow the instructions below and then tell me what happens. First, let's make sure your computer has the latest Windows Updates, especially .net framework, needed to run many applications and the latest Java. I recommend that you use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings to get the best communications between the printer and all the computers. Disconnect the printer. Uninstall the printer. If using Windows 7 also try...Manual Printer Driver Removal Restart your computer. Download the proper drivers. XP/Vista/Windows 7 32-bit drivers XP/Vista/Windows 7 64-bit drivers Other drivers Install the proper drivers. You'll be prompted when to connect your printer(powered on). Please make sure your computer is online when installing the drivers. ***To install drivers, sometimes the file unzips and does nothing.

Right click on the setup.exe file, left click properties, left click compatibility. Change the compatibility Vista SP2.
