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.

Probably a question for Dell. We have no idea what Dell's plans are for product support.
let's not discuss my interactions with dell customer support. I'm coming to accept that it may be time to get a new printer, but I've had such a positive experience with this one I hate to give it up just because of a software issue.
Considering that printer is nearly 12 years old, I’d say the odds of that happening are somewhere up there with the odds of your winning the lottery without having purchased a ticket…
thanks for your prompt reply. I agree, but the optimist in me was hoping for a different answer since I really do like the printer.
thanks! I always like a new challenge.
