Dell 1700N Laser Printer?

My church recently purchased a Mac Mini (OS X Lion) for the control center of our sound room. We have a Dell 1700N Laser Printer with which to print labels for the CDs of sermons, songs, etc. I found a driver, the Lexmark E232 that I found online many people had good luck with it. I downloaded it and tried it, and after doing so I clicked the button on the Add Printer, System Preferences. It doesn't list anything, and the printer is plugged in and the driver is downloaded. Any experience or help you can give me would be awesome! Thanks!

I have exacly the same problem; I was not able to fix it

HT1338 Hi I have a dell colour laser printer ref 3115 cn. I have tried to load driver etc so I can use it with my new Macbook Pro. Its won't let me do it. How do I do it?

Hi I have a Dell colour laser printer ref 3115 cn. I have tried laoding the driver buy my MacBook Pro wont allow it?
Any idea's?

The Dell specifications indicate that this is a multifunction device. The printing portion is supposed to be able to use either PostScript or PCL 6. You should be able to use a generic color PostScript PPD or use the generic pxlcolor driver from OpenPrinting.org. There is not much chance of getting scanning to work with OS X.
The Gutenprint drivers will not provide what you need. They only support balck and white printing for laser printers.

Hi,
Which version of Adobe Reader were you using earlier when printing using Dell printed was working fine?

Connecting a Dell 1100 laser printer to iMacs

I have a two iMacs (one is brand new and one is 4 years old) and want to connect a Dell 1100 laser printer to them. Is this possible to do and if yes what software do I need (and where can I get it)?
Thanks!

Download and install the Samsung ML-1610 GDI printer for MacOS X.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/samsung-gdi/
This driver will also work perfect with your Dell Printer! (It does work fine with the Dell 1100 at my work!)
First install this (5.6 MB):
espgs-7.05.5-0.ppc.dmg
And then this (76 KB):
samsung-gdi-foomatic-1.0.ppc.dmg
Hopefully this solved your problem.

Dell 1700 Laser Printer - Setting up on a Lion Network

Here is how I found to get the Dell 1700 Laser Printer to work on a mac on a network print server .
1) First of all, make sure that whatever print server you are using that the IP address is working. I am using a TP-Link network print server that allows one usb connection. Most of these print servers are windows based so it's best to use a pc using windows to install these properly.
2) Once the print server is set up connect the Dell 1700 printer to the usb connection of the print server and turn on the printer. Your print server will most likely have a little light that turns on when the usb device is active.
3) Now go to software update and make sure you have the latest "LEXMARK" drivers...or go to the Lexmark website and download the latest Lexmark e232 driver for mac Yes, Lexmark, Dell and Lexmark had the same printers for the 1700..
4) Once you have the Lexmark drivers go to the system preferences pane and click the Print & Scan utility.
5) In the print & scan utility click Add printer or the little "+" sign on the left
6) Once clicked, a window pops up and if your print server is working properly you should see Dell Dell Laser Printer 1700-xxxxxx. If you don't see this recheck your print server. You will see the printer name in the "Default" window.... STAY IN THAT WINDOW. You don't need to go to the IP window.
7) In the Default window where you see Dell Laser Printer name click on the Dell Laser Printer 1700 that is listed. Beneath there is a pull down menu called "Print Using" click on that and select Lexmark e232 from the list of printer drivers. Once you have done this click "ADD". The computer will go get automatically what it needs from the internet to make the Lexmark e232 driver work with the Dell. (so make sure you have an active internet connection).

Thanks, Rocky - this worked for me on Snow Leopard too.
The key thing seems to be E232 - and NOT other Lexmark printer names, as incorrectly referred to in other threads.

Dell 1320c Laser Printer

Which driver do I use for a Dell 1320c laser printer? Fusion can see and install the driver on Windows 7 but Lion doesn't see the printer.

I inherited a Dell 1320c from my father in law (too big for his study). My heart sank when I read about the lack of compatibility of Dell printers with Mac Osx. So I hit the web more in hope than expectation. After an hour or 2 of searching through some rather complex explanations of how to connect the printer using IP, I almost gave up as the inherited printer doesn't have the optional ethernet port. I then came across a usefull discussion forum, which did the trick for me by enabling me to link the colour laser using USB to my Airport Extreme.
If you are using an Airport Extreme it is very straightforward. I downloaded what appears to be the normal driver from this page http://www.justanswer.com/mac-computers/437pf-hi-need-connect-dell-1320c-printer -new-imac-27inch.html
I plugged the printer into the USB port on the Airport Extreme. I then installed the printer in the same way as any other printer through the Print & Fax option in System Preferences. I simply selected the + sign on the printer list. I then chose the Dell Color Laser 1320c whcih was on the list shown. I could then select the right driver in the Print Using pull down list, Dell Color Laser 1320c v1.1 - the one I had downloaded.
Voila!
If you don't have Airport then this might be a good excuse to upgrade to an Airport network. That way you get to keep using a fully functional colour laser printer and get the Extreme for the price of a fully Mac compatible printer. No page feed problems, nothing.
It is also worth noting thst through the addition of an old 4 port USB hub I had languishing in a box from my days of using a pc that by plugging that into the Extreme USB port I was able to continue using the HP Photosmart printer I used to have plugged directly into the Extreme USB port in tandem with the Dell laser.
Technology tales rarely end so simply and sweetly for me, so I thought I would share it.

I am having trouble installing a dell network laser printer so my mac will print. Please help

I am having trouble installing and printing my Dell laser 1700 network printer. I keep doing the install and it won't print. I previously had it installed but because I had to get a new router the IP address changed and i no longer can print with the old or load a new printer. Please help me.

CLICKY CLICK----> What to do when you can't print

HT4356 Hello I have a Netgear R4500 router and connected to Dell 1720 laser printer. Question how can i print from my iphone 5?

need some in configuring to print from iphone 5 to dell 1720 using r4500 router

There shouldn't be any configuring necessary.
As long as your iPhone and printer are both connected to the same wireless network it should just work.
Go to the picture/document you want to print, select the options button (usually looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it) and you should have an option to 'print' or something along those lines.
If the option is not coming up, and you're sure they're both connected to the same network, then it's possible that Dell and apple don't like each other. I seem to remember hearing that Airprint may only work with HP printers?

IMac won't print over IP on Dell 3100cn laser printer

I have an iMac with Lion and can't get it to print using an IP address. I can connect it via usb and it will print, but when I set it up using the IP address I get the following message "The optical photoconductor needs to be replaced". I've updated relevant software, deleted and readded the printer, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have a suggestion?

Please see this thread
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16000090#16000090
This issue is ongoing and not related to your printer but with the printing subsystem of MacOS, it has been reported and hopefully a fix is in the works.
I also see you have been able to print now. The Dell 3100CN only supports printing by LPD under MacOS.

Is the Dell 2155 MFP laser printer compatible with MAC os x 10.9.2?

Is the Dell 2155 MFP laser printer compatible with MAC os x 10.9.2?

emscape,
you can find Apple’s list of supported printers here. Have you looked on Dell’s Web site, to see if they claim Mavericks compatibility with that particular printer?

How do I find a driver for a Dell 1320c Colour Laser Printer for a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.2

How do I find a printer driver for a Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer for use on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2?

Ask Dell who made the printer and what model is it. Then you can see if there is a matching driver provided with OS X or that can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

Dell Laser Printer 1720

I just bought my Mac Mini, just switched from PC to Mac. I am unsuccessful printing. The OS recognizes the printer but it just won't print. Please help.

According to the Dell specifications, this printer is a monochrome laser and can use PCL 5e or PCL 6. The Gutenprint drivers would work well _http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php_.
The specifications also indicate that PostScript is supported on the Mac platform. Dell does have drivers available for download.

How to connect to a network dell laser printer 3010cn?

I have the drivers on the original CD but the Mac does not launch it and just give the option in the submenu to eject or get info...not usefull really! If anyone have a solution they are more than welcome to provide them.
For info , the printer is shared on a network which can be use on the second computer (Windows) but not on the Mac...
Thank you for your precious help .

Hi again Fred,
Ya a little research and I see there doesn't seem to be any Mac support for that printer. Too bad. I guess a good reason to stick with the various printer manufacturers who don't care about which operating system you use (Epson, Brother, Canon, etc.).
As Luvlabs mentioned, Brother has some nice printers that work great with the Mac. My mother-in-law bought a MFC-490CW she runs off her Windows XP system, but it is a wireless printer, so our HP laptop and my new iMac all see and print to that printer great, even though it is on the other side of the house. Of course this one isn't a laser printer, but instead an ink jet, but the point is Brother appears to fully support Macs with their software and drivers.
Best of luck,
Patrick

Recommendations for Laser Printer

I need a low cost ($200-400) color laser printer with reasonably fast printing pages per minute, especially in black and white. It will be attached mostly to a an iBook running the latest OS X. It will also be attached occasionally to a Dell Latitude. Anybody got an ideas?

Jamie,
I just wanted to thank you once again for your suggestion of the HP LaserJet 1320. I picked one up last week at Office Depot and, after I receive my $50 mail-in rebate, my total cost will have been $139.99!
The printer itself had an 'instant savings' of $100 off the SRP of $399.99 (and - for those who might be interested - this instant savings continues until June 30 - see the HP website for details.), bring it down to $299.99; I had an $100 Office Depot 'rewards' card plus a $10 'instant off' coupon from the previous week, bringing it down to $189.99 and there was a mail-in rebate for $50 (which, according to the paperwork, I can expect within 6 weeks) so... I was able to get a $400 printer for less than $140 (+ tax, of course).
Still, even with $14 tax, I have to assume that I would have paid at least as much in shipping AND I only had to drive for less than 5 miles, spend 20 minutes explaining why I did not want or need either the extended warranty or the Super Special Laser Printer Official Office Depot Very Special Customer Service Box (a cable, some paper, and a few other doodads for $60) and now I've printed a couple of hundred sheets and love the thing.
Had it not been for your recommendation, I likely would have forgotten the $100 Office Depot card until it expired and would not have sought out the printer there in the first place.
It's such a warm and fuzzy feeling to get such a deal on such a terrific little printer... and, so, I thank you, again.
