Printing to a Dell

I'm trying to print from mabook pro to dell photo 928 printer via wired connection.
Printer setup doesn't show Dell software or drivers. I've heard that Dell printers work with epson drivers.
Does anyone know if this is true and if so which Epson driver I should select?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the link, but no the only drivers given are for OS X 10.4, if I download the Mac package it does not work at all, just fails to load, as it checks the os version and comes back (in OS X 10.5 saying cant run).
I can download the linux drivers but have NO idea how to install them, or even if you can ??? and following the directions given does not work either...
BUT a big thanks for the reply, but alas no joy, so back to being stuck again

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.)

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:

INDesign CS4 had no problems and the page prints to an ink jet printer without any problems
Any help would be appreciated.

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,
Justin Kerr

I am trying to print to a dell printer and need a good app

Does any one know of a good app to print to a dell V313W wifi printer from an ipad 2?

You might want to try Airprint Activator. Free/Donationware. Works really well for me.

Dell only provide some rather old Windows drivers for this model, no Mac drivers at all.
Plug it in, you may get lucky but frankly I doubt it.

Cannot get printer to print with my iMac but will print from my dell laptop?

cannot get my printer to print with my imac but will print from my dell laptop?

OK, well you haven't provided any information so there isn't anything we can do. What is needed at the bare minimum is:
Exactly what printer are you referring to?
How is it connected to the iMac (USB, Wi-Fi, etc...)?
What steps you have taken to connect the printer?
What errors you have run into.
What I would recommend is using Apple's Printing Overview OS X Lion to learn how to install it. Also take a look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if it's even compatible with Lion.

Printer driver for Dell 3010

There is no Mac driver for the Dell 3010 printer on the Dell site. Anyone have a workaround or know of a driver I can use? It's a free printer.

Does it really surprise you that a company that only makes PCs does not support Macs?
The Dell site lists the printer language as "Host Based(GDI)". Translation--it won't work on a Mac or any Linux computer.

HP 4500 won't print from my Dell Inspirion Laptop

My new HP 4500 wireless all in one printer won't print from my Dell Laptop running Vista Home Premium. It did for awhile but
only if I left the printer on. The IP address kept changing for some reason. Now, it will not print from my Dell laptop at all. It will
print from desktop computer running XP but it is connected via a USB cable. This printer is definitely not "plug and play". Anyone
have any ideas how I can get it to work with my laptop? I bought this wireless printer for that reason only.
Best Regards,
Mike

It looks like the printer is not on your network properly. The clue is that the printer's IP address is 169.254.x.y.
You are running a ADSL connection, right? Who is your ISP?
Turn off the printer and your computers and finally turn off the Netgear router. Unplug the telephone line (this is important) from the Netgear, wait 30 seconds and turn on the Netgear. Wait another 60 seconds and turn on the printer.
What is the IP address of the printer now? If it starts with 169.254.x.y, then the printer is not properly on the network. If you got a different IP address (one that starts with 192.168.x.z or starts with 10.x.y.z), turn on one of your Macs (but leave the telephone line disconnected).
Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address plus an offset. For example, if the printer's IP address is currently 192.168.0.5, then use 192.168.0.30.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the Netgear wireless-router and reconnect the telephone line. Now turn off the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the wireless-router and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers.
Finish up by installing the SW on the Macs. Since you're running Snow Leopard, simply go to the Print & Fax System Preference and press [+] to add the printer.

Can my iPad print to a dell 964?

Can I only print to an apple printer? Help

Can my iPad print to a dell 964?
No.
Can I only print to an apple printer?
Apple does not manufacture printers.
iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or AirPrintActivator (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

Help!! I can't get my new macbook to print with my Dell 155w OR burn a home movie to DVD

I cannot get my very recently purchased macbook pro to burn a home video to dvd OR connect to my dell 155w printer. I bought a macbook because it was so highly recomended. But I don't want to keep replacing things. I am so frustrated. I wanted a macbook because of its reputation. But I can't seem to figure out anything. I'm dissapointed and thinking I will just return it.

Your problem may be able to be solved but take this from a Long time Windows user and current Mac owner. Macs are not easier to use. Mac break down just as often as PCs, percentage wise as to how many are sold/produced.
They use the exact same hardware as Win PCs.
The learning curve for OS X is greater then for Windows.
Not sure of the age of your printer but it may not be supported in the newest Mac OS, Lion.
We would need a little more info on how you are trying to connect TO the printer. USB cable or Wirelessly.
As far as burning a Home Movie to DVD. Apple use to supply a program called iDVD for this but with the introduction of Lion OS they stopped supplying that program. You could try another burning program. Try Burn or you could buy something like Toast (Burn is free).
Personally I would return your Macbook Pro and stick to what you know with a good PC notebook.
Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund. Take advantage of that policy.

How can I print to my dell printer?

I have an iPad 2 and a dell printer model #966. How do I print from the iPad ?

Check the App Store to see if there is an app that will allow you to use that model printer.

Acrobat 9 Pro - Slow Printing Problem on Dell 3000cn

I have just downloaded Acrobat 9 Pro as a trial, I want to buy it but not if this problem continues - maybe there is a fix??
I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my local machine and I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have a networked (through a server) printer it is a Dell 3000cn that I print several emailed PDF files on everyday. Since downloading this new program (it required me to remove all other versions of Adobe prior to install - which I did) it seriously takes 2 minutes from when I hit the print button to actually open the printer selection screen. Once I have selected the printer (in this case it is the 3000cn - it is the only color printer) it takes another 2 minutes to actually print the document. Normally I wouldn't be bothered by a process taking so long but I have to do this with an average of 20-30 documents per day (which means that I end up spending around 1 1/2 hours trying to print).
I have combed through the forums here and can't find anything that helps my specific problem. I have checked with Dell and they say that the printer does not have a PostScript driver (which I have read may help my problem)...
Any ideas??

Make a local printer your DEFAULT and see if that helps
I only use a local printer (with version 8x) so didn't keep the link, but there is previous discussion about problems if you don't have a local printer as default... and, if I remember correctly, a link to download a "dummy" printer driver which you may install and set as default
Here is a link from the Photoshop forum

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.

I think that's a printer from 2004 for PC's only. You might be able to use it by running Win XP on your Mac.
