Possible solutions:
(1) Some printer functionality for otherwise unsupported Dell printers is available using the Generic Postscript driver.
(2) If you have the documentation for the Dell printer, check to see whether it can emulate any other printers for which you might find drivers.
(3) You might also try searching for drivers among the list of supported printers at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3.

On DELL's web site you can find Mac OS drivers at least for some printers. While some people use them successfuly I have difficulties with them. E.G. with laser printers 3110cn 5100cn, each time I want to print from an application (whatever the application), the application quits.
