Dell printer driver for v515w

Refer to the information on the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for the printhead and ink cartridge system on the Dell Vw and Vw inkjet printers. Why is my Dell vw wireless mouse not working?

While setting up a replacement wireless mouse, the computer detected a wireless printer with a bunch of random letters for a name. I noticed that the screen on the VW showed a message to enter a numerical code into the window that popped up on the computer.

When I did, the printer came to life and showed wireless connectivity. Skip to content. Anyway, I do love this printer because I can print from anywhere in the house via wifi.

The only negative I see is that you can only use factory Dell ink cartridges to make the printing look good. Second Dell printer that I've owned, I was very pleased with the first one even though their ink is a little pricey. When I first opened up the printer and ran the install cd, everything went fine, even got a sample page out of it. Didn't use it for the rest of the day, set my laptop aside and went about other business.

I took some time, ran diagnostics and was able to boot in safe mode where I performed a system restore to before the printer driver had been installe d. I shut it down, took it to Best buy to see if they could replicate the problem; they could not so by all accounts the system restore was successful.

What a fool I was that after all that I waited a couple days and tried to install the printer a second time. This time it crashed my computer, no dice on the safe mode system restore. Ended up crashing my memory driver and some of the graphics driver somehow. Never had a problem in 4 years with that laptop, regularly serviced, I was hoping to get at least another 2 or 3 before I considered an upgrade.

Corrupt software? Came out to be an expensive purchase for me, will you make the same mistake with this poor piece of hardware? I also came across this all in one ink jet printer on ebays daily deal.

I thought, great everything I needed at a great price and a great product in Dell. Wow was i terrably mistaken, I love how mostly everyone who bought this crap seems to have written their reviews before they have had a chance to actually use it for a month. I, nor my family hardly use this printer because of the cost of the DELL ink you must buy for it. Which you would think would make the printer last longer- WRONG, within the first month the printer keeps alerting me to clean printer head, then deep clean printer head.

Again,and again. After doing so it makes you print out test papers which wastes all your ink. Of course i can buy a new printhead for the cost of what I paid for the printer.

No thanks, Dell really droppe d the ball on this one. Well gotta go take the kids to the library so they can print out their projects, our printer is now just a big drink coaster. Other peripherals are similar. Internal components as well, but at a lesser level in many ways. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I am trying to use this printer with Windows 8.
