I think that Macs support the CUPS printer subsystem. Find the Unix (which Mac OSX is in effect) CUPS driver on the Dell web site for this printer.

Ok, after some investigation, this is really a rebranded Lexmark X4650 printer (all-in-one). Here is a link for the Mac OSX CUPS driver: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=answerlink&userlocale=en_US&segment=SUPPORT&locale=en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.lexmark.com%2Findex%3Fpage%3Dcontent%26id%3DDR20799%26actp%3Dsearch%26viewlocale%3Den_US&productCode=LEXMARK_X4650&answerid=16777216&searchid=1357890795097

It is about 45MB in size.

May be your pinter not support or you didn't installed driver properly. I can suggest, please recheck your driver or if not possible then change anoter printer from http://store.apple.com/au/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/printers
