Dell 2155

What are the chances that Dell will update the software for this old printer? I have a new Mac and am unable to install the 2019 version.

Hi,


If a driver for this model cannot be found, you could perhaps carry out a few tests with a generic PCL driver (such as PCL 6). If necessary, even a driver for another printer model (make) using PCL.


As always, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything.


It may be a good idea to reset the printing system between tests.
