Q: Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

go to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669

for a list of printer drivers included with Snow Leopard.

I also found this:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/7722473#7722473

Hi Bill,

I had the same issue.  What I learned in trying to figure out a solution was that the Dell Photo AIO 922 was built off the Lexmark X5270.  If you set-up your 922, and select the Lexmark 5200 Series driver from the built-in driver drop-down menu options, your 922 should work --- mine did.

CiscoCrossing I can't find Lexmark 5200 on my mac's drop-down menu options.

Hi clos122,

Under "System Preferences" "Print & Fax" double <click> on the printer on the left side of the window.  In the window that appears, <click> on the "Printer Setup" then select the  'Driver' tab.  In there scroll for the "5200 Series"    Search for this specifically and hopefully you'll be able to locate it.  I have been using the printer for a while now, without any communication problems at all.

All the best.

Hey sorry for delayed reply. Your advice worked thanks for the help.

I tried the advice here but get a "Unable to Load RASTER CUPS data" error when trying to print to a Dell 922. I have selected the Lexmark 5200 series driver, as instructed. Any ideas?

Hi RogerDA,

I don't have a solution for this, but understand the process is 'delete' the printer, then 'install' it again.  If this works, then great, If not, you may get a 'Color Table missing' error.   In this case, the following thread might help (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10920994?messageID=10920994#10920994?messa geID=10920994).

Take care,

Very helpful!   My set up was Mac/ Lion trying to Print off a Dell Photo A10 922

Lion does not store any Lexmark, nor dow Apple, but I went to the lexmark site, and found this-

http://support.lexmark.com/index?productCode=LEXMARK_X5270&page=product&locale=E N&userlocale=EN_US#1

Downloaded that, then hooked up the printer, Cmd-P, and the Mac found the drivers I had loaded.

Works fine.  Now when I go to my sisters, I can print!

byw, I'm probably just a Level 2  "GIYF"er, but your the only one ( of MANY folks) who thought to search Lexmart. I've seen posts by MANY geeks saying a Mac could not print to ANY Dell printer.

Nice job,

Rich

SOOO helpful!  Thanks!

Hi

Basic question I know - I can't install the Lex 5200 file because of my security settings - How do I change my security settings so that I can install files from unidentified sources?

Thanks

The Mini Tao,

Under System Preferences->Security & Privacy-> tick the "Allow apps downloaded from" (or something to the effect) and tick "Anywhere."

Be sure and change it back when you've installed the files that you need.

I was experiencing ALMOST the same issue, except now I am receiving a communications error message. I've installed the driver and added the printer in the system preferances window, and when I now go to 'Printer Utility' to print a test page, t says that it can't cinnect to the printer. Any suggestions???
