Dell 1600n won't print from my new imac

I'm thinking about buying a Mac and have been browsing to see if my Dell 1600n will be compatible.

From what I've found, you should install the printer as a Xerox 1600n - it seems Xerox is indeed tha manufacturer of this printer.

To use the network scan feature, you can also have a look at the following page: http://www.jon.demon.co.uk/dell1600n-net-scan/

Do me a favour? Let me know if this works?? I want to know if I can bring my printer over to a Mac.

Even better, here's a link the the Xerox version of the printer.

Maybe you can use the Xerox drivers?

Would love to hear how this turns out for you.

Strange, I have a Dell 1700 and works without problems either connected directly to my iMac through usb or as a workgroup printer when its connected to my winxp machine and shared.
No drivers where requested.

Does your printer have an usb port or just the network jack?

The 1600n is quite different from the 1700, despite the model numbers being so close. The 1600n is a multifunction laser whereas the 1700 is a laser printer, through and through.

Still, there shouldn't be a problem printing to the 1600n through ethernet as long as you specify the IP address (make sure the printer's address is static).
