Dell laser 5100cn and a dell laser M5200.

Okay the two printers are a dell laser 5100cn and a dell laser M5200.
The emacs that im trieing to comunicate with a Dell laser M5200 are running 10.3.9 and the printer is using a static IP. In the print q I keep getting an error message that says network host is busy.
The emacs that are taking 40 minutes to print when printing from a photo editing aplication are running 10.4.8 and the dell 5100cn there also has a static IP

The Foomatic-RIP is not a driver per se. It is typically used along with ESP Ghostscript and a third party driver. I know of no specific Mac OS X or *nix for Dell printers. That does not mean they cannot be made to work.
The main obstacle in getting rebadged printers to work is finding out what printer language they use. Knowing the comparable make and model to the Dell printer is an ideal situation. That hardly ever happens however.
I have posted a response in a similar thread that details how you can find out the printer language(s) your printer understands. This only works with USB printers, however. You can view my post here.
If you can post back the results from the Terminal command in that post, we can hopefully find a driver that will work for your printer.

  • Dell 5100 and 5200

    I have a dell 5100 and 5200 and am having problems printing to them through the network. I noticed that when my emacs are running OSX 10.4 or higher the problems hapen. This has happened at two schools I technical support at. I read a post concerning gutenprint drivers do you think they would work for me.
    dell 5100 First problem is the emac will accept the driver from dell’s web site but when I print to it, I keep getting error message’s saying network is busy or something in the print q.
    dell 5200 Second problem is after a power outage at the school a lab of emacs where causing printing problems. Certain photo application wouldn’t take 40 min the printing q. Like I photo.
    Please help if you can I will have more info when I'm back in my office tomorrow.

  • Trouble with a Dell Printer on a network with PCs.

    I've searched the forum and found only trouble with people getting their files to print on a mac, but I can print, only it's terrible quality while the PCs are printing out high-quality. It's a Dell 5100cn, and I've installed the updated driver from the Dell website, and called them for help, but they said they couldn't help with a Mac problem. I'm connected through an IP address over a wireless connection.
    Has anyone help?

    It was a simple problem after all. Sadly my hard disc was about to snuff it. I changed disk, reinsalled Tiger and all is as smooth as ever.

  • Phaser 8860 and Dell Laser 5330dn

    I am unable to see the printers (just got the Dell - my institution got them with a package deal) on the Bonjour using 10.6. I called Dell to help for on the machines that are running 10.5.x, because the machines were seeing two names on the Bonjour (the serial with the name like Dell5330dn(xxxxxx) and the one I set (Dell5330dn(RM*)) for the same printer. Dell immediately said they do not support Macs and that I would have to get to Apple for the support. They do not understand that this is also seen on the PC if they were using Bonjour as well. Well, any ways that was a lost cause so I hope to have help here.
    The funny this is that on 10.6.1, I was able to see the HPs but not the Xerox and the Dell unlike on the 10.5.x machines where I just not only see the names I called it but it's original in the Bonjour set.
    So, what I did is added through the IP through Internet Printing Protocal (IPP). It found the printers - insure they were valid - but they did not set the proper drivers (it choose Generic) so I change it for the Xerox but left the Dell alone with the Generic. I added them and try to print.
    First, it took forever (well a minute but that is still long) to get to the print screen. I first select the Xerox and it took a long time before the software paused the printer. I then tried to print to the Dell and it did the same thing. Also, now this is a little weird, I try to print to one and then as soon as I can print to the other at the same time. It would immediately pause the first printer as soon the other is selected where eventually it also paused.
    I am at my wits end and I may have to consider other options. I still do not under stand why they did away with Appletalk. It should have stilled been able to be modified for the unix system where we can see the list of printers on the default off the bat. That was the beauty of the Mac OS system. I guess it goes by the motto if it works successfully for so long lets not use it. I had just got these printers in and I do not want to go back like I did when 10.0 came out and have to buy nothing but new systems, that is just not cost effective. I may have to wait or see if I can knock the system to 10.5.x. By the way, is that possible for the newest machines?
    So, does anyone else have a fix for this? And yes, I did use the newest download from the Xerox site for the driver (even through the software was unable to see the printer) and installed it so I can select it with I did the IPP in the Add Printer menu.

    Well, I found a fix for the IPP pause. I needed to put a fixed (static/manual) IP on the printer itself. It cannot stand it if it's DHCP. I guess when I used the host name of the printer to be found and validated, it made the printing a little flaky when searching for the printer name - still do not understand this since it found it before when adding the printer.
    So, this time when going through adding the printers again, I put the IP (set to static through the browser onto the printer or through the printer's menu if possible and gave it an IP) of the printer in the Address and waited to be valid, then gave it a name in the Name section for it and selected the driver. This is through the IPP of the IP menu in the Add Printer of the system prefs.
    The drivers used for the Dells is the Samsung CLP 700, Xerox gets the Xerox driver for it, and HP 4240 I used their driver for it as well. All of them are working (cross my fingers) with no pausing and successful printing for the past two days.
    Now, I have to go and fix the 10.5 problem of them being on all of the list of Bonjour. Reason, is that some of the machines are still PPC and not intel. I just may have to try in turning off the "Bonjour" and then add the IP instead if that is the way to do it since this is going to be the way for 10.6

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Problem with printing to a Dell Laser Printer

    Just switched to CS5 Indesign. Trying to print to a Dell laser 1720dn printer. The printer is returning am Error message;
    ERROR: undefined
    Offending Command    looks like 0e ligature
    STACK:
    17.9807
    -mark-
    -dictionary-
    INDesign CS4 had no problems and the page prints to an ink jet printer without any problems
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Mayavase

    Thanks for your reply.
    I should have mentioned I am using Windows XP.
    No, there are no eps graphics in the document.
    Photoshop CS5 prints with no problems. I did a work-around by making a PDF and printing from that.
    As I mentioned there was no problem printing from the CS4 version.
    This may be a similar problem to the TWAIN problem in CS4.
    Again Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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.
