Dell AIO 942 printer and my Mac

Have Dell All in One Printer Model 942. I just recently switched to MacBook Pro and cannot get my printer to work. I have tried reinstalling the software but nothing happens. Is my Dell compatible or what am I doing wrong?
Help please!

As Chris mentioned, Dell AIO printers are not supported on the Mac platform. The 924 uses a proprietary data stream that utilizes the GDI system built into Windows. See this IBM article for more detail than you would ever want to know.

Printer Driver for Dell AIO 942

I know this has probably already been asked many times, but is there a driver (or a solution/work around) for Mac for the Dell AIO 942 printer?

No, the Dell 942 uses a proprietary driver that only works on Windows.

MacBook Pro and Dell AIO 948 Printer!

Hi,
I have a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to connect it to my Dell AIO 948 printer. However, I know Mac and Dell are not compatible and I know I have to download some sort of compatible software, but I have no idea where to begin with that! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I need to get this connected as soon as possible! I am a college student and I already have homework that needs to be printed!
Thank you in advanced!

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

I have a Dell AIO 944 printer, how can I configure my Mac, running Lion, to use it?

Where can I find a down driver so I can use my Dell printer with the Mac?

Hey viviane,
The first thing check with the Dell printer Support Site with the printer specific Model.
If it display's any software for the Mac OS X, Download it from the www.dell.com/support .
If the Dell printer does not have software on Dell site itself.
It means the specific Dell Printer does not support Apple Mac OS X.
In Apple some specific Dell printers are not supported by Apple.
OR
Try Searching for software in Apple Downloads from from Apple site.
and check this Link to.

How do I find out if Dell AIO 944 printer is compatible?

I just recently purchased a Dell All-in-One 944 printer for my windows laptop, but then decided to make the switch over to Mac. When I try to add the printer Dell is not among the list of the printers to choose from. Is there a way to make this printer compatible with my PowerBook. I'd rather not buy another new printer if I don't have to. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

There are no Mac drivers for most of the cheaper Dell printers and therefore you will not be able to use this printer with your PowerBook.
You can print your Mac files to PDF, copy them to the PC and print them from the PC.
Or
Get a new printer which will work with Macs and PCs.

9500 Mark II Printer and Photoshop (Mac) Quality and Media Grayed Out

I have a PIXMA 9500 Mark II. I am using the printer on an iMac. In Photoshop, when I choose Quality and Media, the area to choose paper type and tray are grayed out. It work fine in Safari.
I have spoken to Canon, Apple and Adobe and no one seems to be able to get it to work. It works in Safari.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello larrygm.
Unfortunately, if you continue to have difficulties with accessing the printer settings, we would have to advise that you use our Easy PhotoPrint Pro plugin with Photoshop or print the image using a different program.
The Easy PhotoPrint Pro plugin can be downloaded from our website and is compatible with most versions of Photoshop. Once installed, you can access the plugin from the File/Automate menu of the program.

My HP printer and my MAC?

How can I clean up the printer? I am getting lines down the sheets.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Are the lines across the page or down the length of the page? Are the lines dark (ink where there should not be) or light (missing ink)?

Why can't I print with an HP and a mac using PSE9

Why can't I print using an HP printer and a mac with Mountain Lion and PSE9

HP printers tend to have long names. Try renaming your printer to something more simple.
Click on System Preferences in the dock or from the menu after clicking the apple icon (top left)
Under Hardware choose Print & Scan
Right-click or Ctrl+Click on your HP Printer and choose rename printer
Type a new name e.g. My Printer (you can also add a location if you wish)
Then click OK

Problems with printer and network connectivity

So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
Restarted mac/printer/iPod
Restarted router
Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
All software is up to date
Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
Printing over USB is problem-free
When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.

Thanks in advance!

Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

Wireless print server with Mac G4 and Dell PC's

I have a belkin wireless router and a linksys WPS54G print server. Hardwired by ethernet cables to the router are two computers 1) Dell 2400 and 2) Apple G4.
I am trying to get the Apple to print to the printserver. the linksys software set the Dell up and the print server and they work fine. I have tried everything i can on the Apple but no luck. Seems to be the driver. The printer is printing gibberish from the mac. The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R320. I dowmloaded the drivers for Mac OS 10.4.4... from the epson website - I chose each one for the printer on my MAC and tried to print. The result was either no print out or differing gibberish each time. What can I do?

Please search this forum. Your precise issue has been covered several times. You have to use a CUPS driver for network printing - Epson's drivers are Carbon, not CUPS. Start by updating the Gimp-Print drivers that Apple included in OS X to the next newer version, now called Gutenprint 5.0.0:
