Welcome is this a new problem?
I've been all through that Rich but does not help. I have changed the USB connector, unplugged the printer and plugged in again but does not make any difference. I had a remote Windows engineer look at it but all he did was to do as you suggested but could not solve the problem. He said there there was a 'patch' that might solve it but did not get back to me.

Did the printer come with an installation disk?
If yes may I suggest that you remove the printer/software, re-boot and using the installation disk start again and when prompted connect the printer.

Adrian, I am afraid I lost the installation disc so I have to download the driver software from the Dell website.
