Does anyone have a solution to using a Dell 3110cn with Mavericks? The driver on the Dell site simply does not work.
Thanks
OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
A different model, but it may help, depending on what you mean by the driver doesn't work:
Good news: Dell updated the drivers for the similar 3130cn on Jan. 24, and it installs from Mavericks and (so far) appears to run the 3110cn fine. I've tested it only briefly, but it seems to work correctly, including envelope printing and some other things people were having problems with. You can find the driver here.
At ftp.dell.com, it appears that the most recent Mac driver update for the Dell 3130cn was released 9/8/11. A third-party freeware solution for Dell 3110cn was posted online circa 1/24/14, but is not currently listed on Dell's support site nor in the App Store. It is described in this Apple support community thread: Dell 3100cn driver.
Be prudent.
Hi. As you'll note from the link above, I got the driver from the www.dell.com support site, not from their FTP site. This is not a third-party file. The version that gets downloaded from Dell is Printer_3130cn_Driver_Dell_A03_MAC.dmg, and the date on the pkg file is 12/23/13. I've been using it on my Dell 3110cn since February without a problem.
Richard, I tried downloading the referenced driver, but could not find the version with the file name you reference. Am I looking in the wrong place? Any suggestions on how to get a copy of the driver?
You would use the 3130cn driver, which I see was updated in December. (I have not tried this version with the 3310n.) You can download it here: http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER02720429M/1/Printer_3130cn_Installer_And_Applica tion_Dell_A04_MAC.dmg
Thanks. I realized later that I was accessing the link from my work computer, which is windows. It automatically took me to only windows drivers. When I accessed from my Mac at home, the Mac driver was available. Appreciate the help.
Hi - new to the forum. I have OSX 10.9.5 on a MacBook Air and a Dell 3110cn that no longer prints in color. I installed the 3130cn driver from the link provided. The .dmg install said it completed successfully but I still cannot add the 3130cn printer - only the existing 3110cn printer shows in the selection dialog box. I assume the 3130cn driver software was installed correctly but I can't seem to access it. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the information and link to the Dell driver. It worked like a champ on my Macs. I'd like to add that although the post originally references Mavericks, the Dell web site does state that the latest driver "enables Mac OS X 10.10 compatibility". I can confirm that it does indeed work fine with Yosemite (10.10.3).
Thanks for much for posting this!
I have downloaded and installed this driver on my MacBOok Air running 10.10.5. I can see that the driver sees my 3110cn's toner levels, but I cannot print to the printer (driver says "printer not responding").
Any ideas? The printer is on my network and printable by a Windows Machine in my domain.
Thanks, just put this on my macbook air running 10.11.2 and it works. Put in the ip address on our home LAN and printed just fine.
