Resolved Question

Do I need a new printer?

by Sep 16, 2012 8:50AM PDT

I recently had a DELL E520 desktop given to me . It has a 64-bit OS installed. Will I need to get a new printer? Or are 32 and 64-bit PC's able to run the same printers?
Thank you?

No, the only difference between the two is that you would just need to download the correct driver for the printer.
