Having trouble printing to a DELL 3130cn color laser printer

I have problem printing to a DELL 3130cn in a LAN since upgrading to OSX 10.7. Apple and Dell can't help and no driver upgrade expected unless there are enough people with same issue. Can anyone help or have a work around? Sometimes if I wait for 5 minutes or more before I press PRINT button, it magically worked. But not always.

In order to change the driver to a Generic PPD, just open the printer proxy (go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, then double click on your printer.)
In the Printer Proxy window, click Printer Setup, and in that pane, select Driver. Change the driver to a Generic PPD (you should have one available in the drop-down.)

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.

Drivers for Dell 1320c Color Laser

Can the drivers be downloaded? The Dell download site offers only Windows XP driver downloads for this printer. The Dell guy (sorry I buy Dells for my workplace) said it would work with a Mac if I downloaded the drivers.
Thanks,
Steve

To talk to a networked Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer using OS X 10.4 follow these steps.
Download the driver for the DocuPrint C525 from here: http://www.fujixerox.com.au/support/drivers/307
Double click the icon to install after it downloads. When the install is finished you can delete the installer.
From the Apple menu open *System Preferences* and select *Print & Fax*.
Click the + to add a printer.
Select *IP Printer*.
Select for the Protocol: *Line Printer Daemon - LPD*
Type the IP address: 192.168.1.177 or whatever it happens to be assigned you network. +You may need a Windows machine to configure an IP address OR you can look at your routers DHCP table for where it was assigned. After you know this you can actually log into the printer from your web browser to change any settings.+
Name the printer "*color laser*" or whatever you'd like it to be.
For *Print Using* select: FX
Next select *FX DocumPrint C525 A-AP v1.2* in the box below.
On the next screen +you must+ select *250 Sheet Feeder* is as an option. *Otherwise it will only manual feed.*
Click Ok.
Print something.
*Paper Source is not automatically selected on this printer.* It won't print unless you set it. This is found in the printer options called Printer Features. The paper should menu should be set to Auto or 250 Sheet Feeder.
Do a Save As... for the Printer Profile. So you don't have to check this every time the set that Profile as the Default.
*The steps for OS X 10.5* are nearly the same. The difference is that you don't have to download the driver from the website.

Recommendation for color laser printer

What is a decent color laser printer to use with Airport Express? I don't print a lot (perhaps a couple of hundred pages per month), so having separate toner cartridge for each CMYK color isn't necessary.

I believe this link is a good place to start.

I'm looking for a color laser printer for my MacPro....what brand do you suggest me?

Hi.
I'm in difficult to decide what brand of color laser printer to buy.
A few month ago I saw that on the apple store was sell the HP LaserJet Pro CP1525 Color Printer series, but now only multifuction printer are avaiable.
Have uou got experience with some other model?
Thank's.
Cristian

I would look at reviews of course. I favor Lexmark but there are others.
Try these:
http://printers.toptenreviews.com/laser/
http://www.pcmag.com/reviews/laser-printers
Ink jets have come a long way, but not a replacement where laser is called for, and cost of ink is just as much as printers. Trouble with multi function is -- not all functions are always that great.
Support. Sometimes only the last couple model years get supported drivers.
I keep paying less and getting much much better quality printers though and compared to those $10,000 units of old today's printer is cheap, fast and a joy to use.

False error message as "paper jam" on CP1215 Color Laser Printer. How can I release it?

On Color Laser Printer CP1215 the False Paper Jam warning message is continuously on.
How can I erase it?

There was a time not so long ago that the info one received from HP's tech support et al was helpful and relevant, Unfortunately, those days have become rare. This reply is evidence of that. It's almost as if you have a program that scans user's submissions for certain keywords and then posts a reply with a link to a solution that may apply based on the keyword. In the case of the CP1215, the paper jam error is FALSE!!! No one who is complaining about this issue has a paper jam!! You can post replies with your condescending link to your Paper Jam Resolution site all day long and it will NEVER rectify the situation hundreds of people are having with this printer! In my case, I have 2 printers with this exact same issue. My CP1215 as well as my 2200D both are completely useless due to a false "Paper Jam" message that won't allow the printer to print. Neither printer has printed more than 500 pages!!!!!
Thank you HP for transitioning from one of the best tech companies in the world to just another company that has no time or money to be concerned with the problems its customers are having with one of their products. I used to be proud that I owned HP printers if for no other reason than the quality of the products and the reputation - I even recommended your products to everyone who would listen. Not any more. Maybe one day one of the revolving-door CEO's will do a Google search for problems customers are having with your products and will see that the company's status quo isn't acceptable and do something to fix the problems internally that are affecting so many of your customers and also help the thousands of individuals who have basically hit a wall with regard to finding any kind of solution to the problems they have with their printers.

Need a Color Laser Printer!

I am looking for a good quality color laser printer that is compatible with OSX 10.8.4.
Most times I will be printing text documents in B&W, but also do some graphics work and need good quality images.
Looking at the HP Laserjet Enterprise 500 Color M551DN and the Brother MFC 9560CDW
Any thoughts??

Second nod for Brother. We have a monochrome laser of theirs. Very dependable, and much, MUCH cheaper consumables than HP.
The Xerox 6500DN also gets very good marks for the price. We had a 6280DN at one time, and it was also very good. The only reason we sold it was because we replaced it with a tabloid size Xerox 7500DN. There wasn't any need to keep both.

Color Laser Printer - advice for student - compatible with Airport Express!

Hi there!
In September my studies will start hier in Germany. I'm now looking for an Color Laser Printer as a birthday gift from my parents. For me the compatibility with my Airport Express is very important. The printing costs should be low, i prefer to spend more money on the printer once. I think a price between 400 and 600 Euros should be ok.
Could you give me some advices or tell me your experiences?
Sorry for my english, i know it's not the best;-)
Greetings from Germany!
Mark

A very helpful guide as to which printers work with the airport express is here:

If it works on the quoted airport extreme, you should be good with the airport express
Hope that helps and good luck.

Color Laser Printer: CMYK ink percentage

Hello,
I'm buying a CMYK Color Laser Printer/Copier, and I would like to estimate the cost per print/copy.
The manufacturer of the printer claims that each toner allows the user to print 25,000 sheets in A4 format, at 5% coverage.
Yes, you read it right: 25,000 copies (*)
Is Illustrator able to show me the percentage of each color of a document?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Enrico
(*) Solid Ink Technology - Bizhub C280 printer

Is Illustrator able to show me the percentage of each color of a document?
Pointless exercise.... Any such printer exclusively handles these things via its driver and you realyl have no way of exactly finding out how much toner it applies plus these printers always leave some of that stuff unused in the cartridge. Aside from that, you can simply assume that the actual number of printable sheets will be a lot lower. 5% coverage is really just text, most simple graphic designs are about 30 to 45% coverage. You will definitely not be able to print more than 10000 to 12000 such pages, if you use even more color you may end up around 7000.

Color Laser Printer suggestion?

I'm looking for a good color laser printer for between $500 and $1000 for a small office. Don't need an all-in-one. Just a good printer. Ideally, a Bonjour enabled model.
This'll be used with two PowerBooks and desktop G4.

There are more and more good ones out there every day. You will have to decide for yourself, but when I was looking for one, I was looking for:
1. Good print quality.
2. Good speed, both black & white and color.
3. Duplex printing.
4. The ability to handle envelopes reasonably.
5. Reasonable cost of supplies.
6. PostScript, although that is pretty much a given these days.
I got a Ricoh Aficio 2000N, and it had a feature that I really like:
7. Paper tray capacity of at least a full ream.
Other factors to consider: Cost of extra memory, since your ability to print at the best quality may be limited by memory. Connection speed, if you are printing such documents. Footprint size of the printer. Paper sizes usable. Extra paper trays.
I hope this gives you a starting point.

Color Laser Printer load paper 50-55 gsm ?

Hi...
I've been looking for a color laser printer that can load very thin paper, about 50-55 gsm, like those ncr paper.
I just gonna print occasionally on these kind of paper so my daily load still regular 70 gsm A4 paper.
I search on every printers' spec but couldnt find this info.
Anybody know and willing to share which type / model support this features ?
Thanks in advance for any help.....

Hi RonRN18,
I understand you're looking to find some more specific information in regards to power surges on Laserjet model printers. I believe I can help out with this!
If you click here you can see one of HP's consumer Laserjet printers, and if you click on Specs below the picture of the printer and scroll down to Power & operating requirements, it gives the information you're looking for under Power consumption. This printer indicates the difference between when it's printing, ready (idle), auto-off and manual-off.
Hope this helps, have a great day!

Looking for recommendations for a good small color laser printer

My trusty Canon inkjet is on its last legs and I am considering getting a color laser printer.
I need it to have ethernet so all computers on my home LAN can print to it.
I am currently looking at the Samsung CPL-315W and the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer.
Pros: Samsung is smaller than the HP
Samsung toner is cheaper
HP print quality is rumored to be better
Cons:
Samsung toner is more difficult to find locally
HP printer is more expensive ($309 compared to $199)
If you have any advice or experience with these printers, I would appreciate it.
Chris

hi cejones,
Did you end up finding a printer?
I'm looking as well. I have the Samsung clp-510 and while it's very reliable, the UI for mac is terrible. So terrible in fact that I still have it connected to a PC b/c their UI is much better for controlling colour etc..
i'm looking for a wireless solution.
Cheers

The best COLOR LASER printer for my buck?

I have an HP 1012 black and white laser printer which works great! Only changed the toner once in two years.
But now I need a good color laser printer that can print decent quality color photos. At least good enough for my band's fliers on glossy paper.
Does anyone have any reccomendations?
Thanks in advance!

If you read this recent thread, you will find my musings on the subject.

Keep in mind that how you intend to use the printer will affect your choices. If you are interested in photos, print quality is an issue. The number of pages you expect to print per month may determine whether you can get by with a personal printer or if you will need more of a business printer. If you are printing a lot of colored pages, faster printing of color documents is a step up in price. Make a list, check the specs from the various manufacturers, including the price of consumables, and you should be able to make an intelligent decision.
