[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 327811, member: 24098"] Your issue is likely related to the driver that the Mac chose to use for your Dell AIO. In all likelihood, Mac OS chose to use a Generic Postscript driver and that's probably not going to work. Dell doesn't provide driver support for Mac OS. That's not necessarily the end of the road for your Dell printer since it is very likely just a rebadged Lexmark. The trick is to figure out what Lexmark model shares the guts with your Dell. Once you figure that out, you can just go to Lexmark's site and download the appropriate driver. That said, if the Lexmark driver is not "network aware" (i.e. it just assumes that you have the printer connected via USB, you'll need to find a generic Gimp-print driver that will work with it. That raises the degree of difficulty in getting it to work to another order of magnitude. I'll do a little research and let you know what I find out. My advice is that if you need a network printer, buy a new one that has built-in network support and a Mac driver. [/QUOTE]
