I have a dell printer but windows 7 does not recognize it. I have tired everything but still the same issue. I am just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem on windows 7.
ANY help will be much appreciated.

Did you check the compatibility mode?

I had the same problem and solved it after installing vista drivers for that specific printer. Vista drivers work fine on windows 7.

It seems that you already tried to run it in compatibility mode for vista but after that did you rt. click on the file and tried to run it as an administrator?

I have heard that many people have had success installing windows XP drivers on windows 7. So just try the XP drivers for that specific printer. Extract the drivers and run the setup and set it in compatibility for XP and afterwards right click and run as administrator.

Make sure it is enable in device manager. If windows 7 does not recognize the device automatically then go to the device manager, select your device, right click, choose enable, then Win7 will automatically install it for you.
