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

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Apparently there is no HP software support for the HP 3050 fax or scan functions with OS X 'Lion' 10.7:

    Alternatives?
    1) Run a Windows client on the Mac using Boot Camp or one of the available virtualization programs like Parallels, VMware Fusion, and others so you can run the latest Windows print/fax/scan driver.
    2) If your Mac hardware supports an older OS X version, downgrade to one (Snow Leopard?) that still had support for print, fax and scan.
    3) Buy a newer printer. A 2007 model is 5+ years old, and should now be fully depreciated in a business.

  • How to connect a "Clear Network" Modem to my Airport Xtreme?

    Hello friends. I recently purchased the clear network modem. I need to know how to connect it to my Airport Extreme and get my local network at home working with 4 computers. Thank you!

    Except that I don't know much about the Extreme, it should be simple.
    Power down the computers, the Extreme, & the Clear Modem, wait 5 minutes, connect an Ethernet cable, (it is one with Ethernet right?), from the Clear Modem to the WAN port of the Extreme, power up the Modem, wait 3 minutes & power up the Extreme, wait 2 minutes & power up the Mac(s).
    Windows directions, but basically the same to setup the Extreme to hand out IPs...

    Dear zarack,
    What's your printer's model number and do you have a wireless router in your home?

  • How to connect E4200 to Wireless Dell Printer

    I feel like i should know this...i set it up on my last wireless router my wrt54g......but now i cfan't figure out for the E4200 or the printer....please help!

    You might have installed your router using the Cisco connect software. Open the Cisco connect software and go to Router settings. You will find the wireless network name and password.
    Note down the password for the wireless network.
    Search for the wireless network on your printer. Select your wireless network and enter the password. Once you connect to the wireless network, you will be able to print.

  • How to connect my ipad mini to wireless printer

    Could someone tell me how to connect my ipad mini to my AirPrint printer

    If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed.  A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
    However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network.  Its 2 different things.
    For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network.  It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

  • How do I set up my Brother laser printer to work wirelessly?

    My printer works okay with the USB connection but I am sure it can be set up wirelessly and I am not sure how to do it. I added the printer with the ISP address the computer gave me (I am seeing a slightly different number when I check the LinkSys manual) If I click on this printer nothing happens but the printer works fine with the hard connection. I know I am doing something wrong but not sure just what. This should be simple but I have spent hours trying to work it out - unsuccessfully!

    The wireless address may have to be similar to that you'd assign the
    printer if it were supported by Ethernet, since it would be networked.
    The USB is different, and in theory, Ethernet should be faster & in
    some cases, perhaps better shared between users on a network.
    I'm not sure how to use a printer wirelessly unless a wireless print
    server were used, or if you happened to have a supported printer
    and were setting up a wireless printing from an AirPort Base Station.
    {The newer printers are supposed to eliminate the need for this ^.}
    Usually, the instructions and software disc accompanying Brother
    printers, makes using their stuff easier than, say some HP stuff.
    If the product says it will work wirelessly out of the box, with OS X
    it probably will. Which product do you have, and when was it made?
    There may be newer drivers for it at the manufacturer's web site, if old.
    With a brand model of printer, some information may be available online
    and even a google-type search could show you other ideas about this.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 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,

  • How to connect to windows network

    Is there a way to connect your iPad and/or iPhone 5 to a Windows network?  If so how?

    Hi, Charlie -
    I'm not insulted at all! I appreciate the dialog.
    Here's what I can tell you. I checked the airport utility and it indicates specifically that the Airport Express is being used to "Extend a wireless network." It's not connected to the Airport Extreme by any cable.
    Given the difference in indicated signal strength on my MacBook Air (I'm using it now and it's 3 feet away from the Mac Pro), I've got full strength on the Air but when I try to connect the Windows machine it indicates only 1 bar/unit of strength. I'm guessing that it's not seeing the Express (extended) but only the Extreme that's much farther away. I'm in the basement at one end of the house and the Extreme is on the second floor at the other end of the house. When I boot the Mac Pro to OS X I'm able to join the extended network. Hmmmmm...
