Dell 2135cn Printer

New to forum. I have a Dell 2135cn printer that I bought one month ago. My brother just purchased a Mac Pro. I would love to get a Mac also, however how do I get my printer to work with my printer?

The specifications provided by Dell at http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/print/2135cn_en.pdf indicate that this printer can use a PCL 6 driver. I would suggest using the Mac OS X packages for the pxlmono drivers from OpenPrinting.org http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o. When you set up the printer use the "Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor" driver.
I have no information on the how to use the scanner in Mac OS X.

  • Dell 2135cn Dell printer but not in color.

    I have a Dell 2135cn color laser printer. The printer works but will not print in color. I am using Lion. Anyone know how to print in color?

    You can at least get the printer to print in color if you use the pxlmono/pxlcolor drivers from OpenPirnitng.org.  Just be sure to add the printer using the "Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)" driver. 
    As I recall, when adding a printer using this driver, the default color space is Grayscale.  You can go to Printer Features, select color mode, and save it as a Preset.  Sorry to say you will have tro rely on Dell for any scanner drivers.

    Okay. That is a good result. It proves you have a working network connection between the Mac and the Dell.
    So with the printer not showing using Bonjour, you could try adding the printer manually. With Printers & Scanners open, click the plus button to add and then select the IP icon. You can then enter the IP address of the Dell. Set the protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket. Leave the queue name blank. Change the Name from the IP address to Dell Wireless. Leave the Location blank and in the Use menu, select the model of Dell you have. Then click Add to complete the queue creation and then see if you can print.

  • Dell C1660w printer - no driver for Mac OS X 10.9.2

    I bought a new Dell C1660w printer based upon past experience with this very same printer model that I used at a previous previous job not more than a month ago. I used the previous C1660w printer on an Apple Mac Book Pro and so naturally purchased a new one assuming that I would very easily configure it to my new Mac Book Pro. 
    WRONG... The printer is currently sitting on my desk and I can't configure it to my computer. 
    Upon calling Dell support about this issue I learned that there is currently no printer driver file available for the Mac Os X version 10.9.2. When I asked the rep as to when this driver might be available I was told there is no way she could answer that either. I also learned that there is no direct escalation path for a customer other than her log of the notes from our conversation. I'm sitting here with a new printer beside my computer. Please don't tell me to simply return it! It should never have come to this.
    Words cannot adequately express the frustration and disappointment I have experienced and empathy from the customer service rep is not an acceptable solution either. When will this driver be made available??

    Hello Mello1963,
    I am sorry that you did not receive the proper information regarding your request for drivers. Upon checking our support site I was able to locate a install package for Mac 10.6-10.9 so this should get you taken care of. Please let us know if this gets you up and running.

  • Mac mini dell 968 printer

    hi anyone know how to get this printer to work with my new mac mini, i turn it on it doesn't show in my printers

    It appears that your Dell 968 printer may be a re-badged Lexmark 9500, which is supported by Snow Leopard.
    See these links:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1907829&tstart=30
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#lexmark
    Basically it appears that you need download no drivers, but instead you need to tell System Preferences > Print & Fax that you have a Lexmark 9500, rather than a Dell. (I can't test this out, so your mileage may vary.)

  • Dell 1320C Printer

    I have downloaded install software for Dell 1320C printer. It is not communicating with my mini mac. I am using an IP Address of 10.0.0.1 - this might be the problem. Everything else seems fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Jaskent,
    It sounds like you do not have all the software installed with the printer. Please uninstall/reinstall using either your CD or the driver package listed below. That should get you back to where you want to be.

  • Print properties fail, Dell A920 printer. I require B&W prints only

    I cannot access print properties on my Dell A920 printer so as to select B & W prints only. Their is no error on the older Firefox 3.6 and MS Explorer, and my printer works fine with these browser systems
    My error message reads on the current Firefox browser:
    function address caused a protection fault (exception code OxCo0000005) The application sheet pages may not function properly.

    The ColorSync setting will not change the color or b&w setting. There must be another menu where you can select color or b&w.
    In theory this setting would be located in the same location on both Mac's. But if you used a CD to install the 10.6 driver versus downloading the 10.7 driver from Apple, then the color setting could located under different menus.

    hello, when printed pdf files come out blank from your printer, this is currently a bug in the integrated firefox pdf viewer that is investigated by our developers. in the meantime you could use a third-party pdf plugin like from adobe that you can enable in the firefox ''options > applications'' - scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

  • Printer driver for Dell Photo Printer 954

    I am about to give my Macbok Pro to a person with a Dell Photo Printer 954. I have been trying to find a driver for the printer to install on the laptop but it appears that Dell doesn't  make drivers for Macs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the Printer and laptop to work together?
    Thanks.

    Not surprisingly, Dell doesn't provide an OS X driver for it.  Assuming since you've asked it doesn't work, so you may need another printer. I've used Canon printers for years, and my curret MP560 AIO works nicely via wireless connection.
