the little icon is on my desktop ... I click it, run it, and everything. But the printer doesn't show up on the printer lists.

Ok......
All that file does is unzips the driver to a folder... usually located at C:\dell\drivers\R##### or something like that. The R##### folder is gonna have the same name as the file you downloaded. That's the folder you want. Ok now that we know that, click Start | Printers and Faxes | Add Printer | Next | Next | It should detect the printer (depends on how you're connected to it).... it'll try to install it automatically which won't work and will ask for a disk with the driver. That's where you click Browse and point it to the folder I mentioned above. If it's the right driver, it'll show up in the dialog box after you click OK. When it does that, you're gravy... so just OK your way out and you're ready to go.  If it doesn't work after that, I'll take it off your hands for the cost of shipping.
