    Hi assessor

    There is no mention of Linux drivers on the Dell web site. I believe Dell printers are actually re-branded Lexmark. You might be better trying to find the Lexmark equivalent of your printer and google for a Linux driver. You can install Gutenprint drivers via Add/Remove Software but I do not know if they have any Lexmark drivers. They certainly had a driver for my Epson.

    Best wishes.
