Dell Printer Alert Utility
Note:
This application is not available with Windows 2000 or earlier.

there is an error, a bubble appears telling you what the error is, and points you to the appropriate recovery information.

printer and computer can communicate. An exception is added to the Windows Firewall to allow this communication.
