I'm sure there's more, but this is what comes to mind ATM. I don't know how many times I've had to use "Apple LaserWriter 600" to just get a vanilla postscript driver installed on a Windows box for a non-printing function. Here's a dirty little secret - you can use the same print driver on several dozen printers from different vendors, and they will cover different models. Ubuntu has a GUI tool in the System menu that allows you to detect hardware that needs non-free drivers, and install the driver. If you are running Ubuntu or Debian, be sure to include support for non-free software, as it's (unfortunately) necessary for stubborn hardware that can't be dragged along for the ride. If you have a "newer" Linux distro, the CUPS service should be able to "detect" the presence of the printer easily. This is never been easy to buy compatible computer hardware for your systems now. If you have an LPR service available on your windows box, "Attach" the printer to the windows machine, enable LPR services and point the Linux box at the windows machine, turning it into a print server.Įnable Proprietary Driver Support. ND837 ND837 - Dell 500-Sheet Drawer for Laser Color Printer 5110cn. Turn the Windows box into a print server. You might not get all the features you want, but you'll get something functional. Sticking with older, matured protocols allows you to avoid incompatibilities and/or bugs with the implementation of newer ones. Select PCL 5e as the print language, if possible. Yeah, that seems counter-intuitive, but really, you'll be fine without it.
