I have an Asus EEEPC 1005HA running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and a custom-built desktop that is running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.

I also have an older Dell 720 photo printer that I still have several unused ink cartridges for. The printer has always been great and I wanted to use it with my newer versions of Windows. Unfortunately, Dell doesn’t openly support vista and 7 usage of this older printer. Nevertheless, I found the files needed to run the printer on both systems, and it works perfectly!

Procedure:

Download the Vista 32bit or 64 bit driver from the official Dell support website.

The Vista 32bit works with ALL versions of 32bit VISTA and WINDOWS 7! The Vista 64bit driver works with ALL versions of 64bit VISTA and WINDOWS 7!

32bit Driver download

64bit Driver download

Install the file and follow the onscreen prompts! Now you can use your old but trusty printer with your new and shiny Windows OS!

Hope this helps! Let me know in the comments below if you have anything to add!

Today I am going to show you how to reduce the amount of ‘crap’ in your computer. Most people don’t realize that files build up in secret areas of the computer during normal, every day usage. These files are not large individually, but they tend to build up over time and can dramatically affect the performance of a computer. Common symptoms of ‘the crap’ are slow load times, slow boot times, frequent hanging or freezing, and even crashing programs.

While the symptoms are bad, they can easily be cured by a simple and completely free piece of software known as CCleaner, which is short for Crap Cleaner. This fantastic program helps make maintenance of your computer’s ‘crap’ load by cleaning out all the sources of the junk files.

Installing and learning to use the program is extremely simple:

1. First, you need to download CCleaner. It can be found here.

2. Second, you need to install CCleaner. Take the file that you downloaded and double-click it. The setup should start automatically. Follow all the prompts until it says that the installation is complete.

3. The third and final step is to run CCleaner. Depending on how much debris there is in your hard drive, this may take some time–a few minutes at most–and just be patient while the process runs. When the cleaning is complete, you’ll receive a handy summary of just how much space CCleaner cleared for you.

Final note: It is important to run CCleaner on a regular basis. Once a week or daily is sufficient to keep ”crap’ from overtaking your computer system!

I, Shelby Jones, founded this venture formally in September 2009, but have been operating as a part-time computer handyman for well over five years. I want to lend my experience in the field with others, as well as establish a website for my local buisness, so I came up with TechSquid, which fit into my two themes: technology, and Omega Squid Studios, which is my main company. TechSquid is yet another ‘tentacle’ of Omega Squid Studios.

I hope that over the next few months this site becomes an invaluable resource for its tutorials and tech tips. Thank you for stopping by, and come back again soon!
