I have just purchased a secondhand Dell Photo All-In-One Printer 944 but it is not compatible with my Windows 98 can I download from Dell to make it compatible?

Unfortunately not, according to the Dell website, this model printer is not compatible with Windows 98. This particular model uses its own specialist driver that will only work on Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

IBM have a very good site explaining which Dell printer models can be used by other operating systems like Linux, Macs, Windows 98 and the like. The AIO 944 is not one of them.

For this reason, and the difficulty in getting replacement cartridges, we tend to steer people away from Dell printers. The prices are good, but you lose a lot of flexibility.
