The Dell 3335dn driver lets Windows communicate with your printer, turning documents into print jobs and making printing preferences available from your applications. Choose a driver package that matches your Windows version and system architecture to help avoid installation errors and missing print options.

Key Features

• Everyday document printing: Enables Windows applications to send letters, reports, forms, and other documents to the Dell 3335dn.
• Print preference controls: Provides access to settings such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and print quality, depending on the driver package.
• Duplex and paper handling options: Lets you configure two-sided printing and select available paper sources when those capabilities are exposed by the installed driver.
• Connection setup: Supports configuring the printer for a USB or network connection, depending on the package and your setup.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information to confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check whether the installation is 32-bit or 64-bit. Select a package explicitly compatible with your system; an older driver may not support every newer Windows release.

1. Download and prepare the driver. Save the appropriate Dell 3335dn driver package to your computer. If it comes in a compressed archive, extract the contents before starting. Keep the printer powered on, but follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect a USB cable.

1. Start the installation. Run the setup program and approve the Windows permission prompt if requested. Choose the connection type that matches how you plan to use the printer.

1. Locate or add the printer. For a network setup, make sure the computer can reach the printer on the same network, then select the detected device or enter its IP address. If no setup program is included, use Windows’ Add printer option and browse to the extracted driver files when prompted.

1. Verify the result. Finish the setup, restart only if requested, and print a test page from the printer’s properties. Review paper and duplex settings before sending your first document.

If Windows cannot find the printer, check the USB connection or network address before reinstalling. Scanning and fax functions may require separate software and are not necessarily included with a print driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Remove any existing Dell 3335dn printer queue and driver in Print Management, reboot, then run the Dell installer as administrator. Disconnect USB during setup if prompted for a network install.
• Printer not detected: For USB, connect directly to a rear port, not a hub, and try another cable. For network, confirm the 3335dn has a valid IP, ping it, and add the printer by IP using the correct TCP/IP port.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall old Dell 3335dn PCL/PS drivers, match 32/64-bit and Windows version, and install only one driver package. Avoid mixing Windows generic and Dell drivers on the same queue.
