Need Printer Driver for Dell Photo 966

You have some options.

1. Download Vista drivers from Dell:

Step 1: See the post from "Pudgy One" here:
https://www.dell.com/community/Printers/Need-Dell-AIO-966-printer-driver/td-p/4779441

Step 2: The link to the Dell forum thread in the post in Step 1 is no longer valid. Instead, go to

https://www.dell.com/community/Printers/Dell-966-Photo-All-In-One-Printer-owners-thread-W7/m-p/3395452

2. Use the driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog

Step 1: Go here:
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=dell%20966

Step 2: You should be at a page with 11 possible downloads. Five of the hits are described as good for Windows 7.

Three of the hits indicate that they are for both Windows 7 and Windows XP 64-bit edition (among other versions of Windows). These downloads are for a 64-bit version of Windows. The other two hits are for a 32-bit version of Windows.
I don't know the differences between the different downloads.

If I were in your position, I would use the download that includes Windows 8.1 in the list as well as Windows XP 64-Bit Edition (if you have 64-bit Windows 7) or the download that includes Windows 8.1 in the list as well as Windows
XP (if you have 32-bit Windows 7).

Step 3: Whichever file you download will be a *.cab file. Extract the contents. The easiest way to deal with this is to install free 7-zip (7-Zip).
If you would rather use native Windows command line commands, see
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/extract-cab-file-using-command-line (use "expand" rather than "extrac32").

Step 4: Open Devices and Printers.

• Select any icon in the "Printers and Faxes" section.
• Click "Print Server Properties" in the tool bar at the top of the Devices and Printers window.
• Select the "Drivers" tab and then the "Add" button. This will open the "Add Printer Driver Wizard." Click "Next"
  
• Select your system architecture and click Next
• Click the "Have Disk" button
• Use the "Browse" button to open the folder into which you had extracted the contents of the *.cab file you downloaded. This will be easy to find if you had saved the downloaded file on your Desktop and extracted the contents into a folder on your Desktop.
  Click "Open"
  
• Select the *.inf file, click "Open" and then click "OK"
• Complete the Wizard.

Step 5: Connect the printer and turn it on. It should now install automatically.

CP>devices and printers>add a printer>the printer that I want isn't listed>add a local printer with manual settings>define port>Windows update and install
