A Fatal Error 002 can occur when printing via a network connection, because the Dell Network Setup Assistant software sends out random empty packets that the printer does not understand. To resolve the issue, you must uninstall the software on each Dell PC that has the printer installed. To uninstall: Go to EITHER: Start | Settings | Control Panel OR: Start | Control Panel, depending on what your Start menu looks like. Windows 2000/XP only: Click “Switch to Classic View” (if you are not already in Classic View) Double click on “Add Or Remove Programs” Locate “Dell Network Assistant” and click on it once to highlight it Click Remove and then reboot your PC. Windows Vista only: Click “Classic View” (if you are not already in Classic View) Double click on “Programs and Features” Locate “Dell Network Assistant” and click on it once to highlight it Click Uninstall or Uninstall/Change and then reboot your PC.
