Operating System Compatibility

Your Dell™ 2135cn Color Laser Multifunction Printer is compatible with Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition, Windows Vista®, and Windows Vista 64-bit Edition.

1 Dell technical phone support only supports factory-installed operating systems (Microsoft) for the first 30 days for free. You will have to purchase technical support from the manufacturer of the operating system in order to get technical assistance beyond 30 days.

2 If you have other operating systems and have purchased Gold Technical Support, the telephone support will be a "best effort" attempt to resolve the operating system issue. If the manufacturer needs to be contacted, the customer must pay an additional fee for that support. The only time that Dell pays for the third party support is when Dell is responsible for the issue. In the case of getting the printer installed and working, this is configuration and the customer would be responsible for paying.
