Dell says the printer driver for the 1500 is on Windows Vista, but Vista says
"unknown devise". I can not get Vista to recognize my printer. How do I get
the printer driver?

Open your Control Panel and click on the "Add Hardware" iconÂ*.
The "Add Hardware Wizard" will appear.

1. Click on Next and place a dot next to "Yes, I have alreaÂ*dy connected the hardware".
2. Click Next and scroll all the way down to "Add a new harÂ*dware device".
3. Click once to highlight it and click Next.
4. Place a dot next to "Install the hardware that I manuallÂ*y select from a list (Advanced)".
5. Click Next and scroll down to "Printers", click once to Â*highlight and click Next.
6. Place a dot next to "Use the following port" and click NÂ*ext.
7. In the "Install Printer Software Screen", on the left siÂ*de scroll down to "Dell"
and click once to highlight, then in the right-side scrÂ*oll down to
"Dell Laser Printer P1500 (MS)", click on it to highlight, then Â*click Next to install the software.

the 1500P is listed

Did you run Add Printer? The 1500P is near the bottom of the list of
drivers under Dell.
