Hi All!
Trying to get this Dell (rebadged Lexmark) All In One 962 printer to work with my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions? THis printer is not directly connecte to the MacBook, it is a Networked printer.
Thanks!

I take it Dell doesn't supply Apple drivers. I didn't think they would. Have you been able to determine the equivalent model Lexmark unit? If so, and they have a compatible Mac driver, try that. If not, try this driver:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/lexmarkprinterdrivers.html
If that doesn't work, you might try downloading the latest Gimp-print drivers for OS X (this is a distribution of CUPS printer drivers originally developed for Linux, but also available for OS X).
If there is no direct support for your printer model (which it doesn't list any Dell printers whatsoever, so you'd need to determine your Lexmark equivalent), this link will suggest a more generic driver for your model.

You can download the latest Gimp-print drivers here:

If you're able to find a driver or something that is functional, but not model specific when locally attached, then all you need to do is set up a connection using LPD. You'll need to know the print server's LPD/LPR queue name which might be difficult to determine, but not impossible if you Google it.
Once you have the IP address, LPD/LPR queue name and a workable driver, just open the Print & Fax control panel and then click the +. Choose "Line Printer Daemon - LPD" from protocol and fill in the blanks.
If you still can't find a driver, my only other suggestion would be to try Googling your printer model number and the terms "Mac" or "OS X" and see what you can dig up.
I have a feeling this might not be the easiest printer to setup in OS X, so you're in for a bit of an uphill climb. Good luck.
