Xerox printer 6130 compatability with Windows 7

Oct 14, 2010 7:05AM PDT

I just installed a new Dell computer with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office. While the printer is properly installed and attached to the computer, the computer insists there is an installation issue. Can anyone help please?

Xerox printer 6130 compatability with Windows 7
Oct 16, 2010 3:22AM PDT

As you know me guys, I am not a computer whiz. So I followed most of your suggestions. Uninstalling and re-installing the printer?s CD. Make sure it is the default printer. As per your suggestion Mark, I downloaded the page that you suggested from Xerox support. Tryed with success a Printer Test Page. And then went on trying to print a document from Words?no way. So I brought my HP lap top that I bought not too long ago. It has a Windows 7 in it. I had never used my HP with the Xerox printer. Tried all of the above, same negative results. I am suspecting that Windows 7 is incompatible with the printer. Could it be or am I really still doing something wrong?

standard shows an XP driver. But you can select other OS'es like Windows 7 or Windows 7 64 bit and download those drivers. Are you sure you selected and installed the right driver?

With the right driver, it should work. It's unclear why it doesn't.
