Dell Wireless All-In-One 966 Printer
I am considering purchasing a Dell Wireless All-In-One 966 Printer, I really need a wireless printer and this one seems to be exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately, I have not been able to secure a great deal of technical information regarding this device. Has anyone on this forum used this device with FreeBSD-6.2; and if so, where you successful?

No information (yet) on the 966, but the Dell 920 is said to work with the Lexmark Z600 driver here: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-AIO_Printer_A920 Not so for the AIO 946: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-All-in-one_946 Unfortunately, I have not been able to secure a great deal of technical information regarding this device. It's likely made by Lexmark (maybe the Lexmark X9350) but rebadged and rechipped so you can only use Dell ink with it. There's a less than glowing review of the Dell version here: http://reviews.cnet.com/multifunction-devices/dell-photo-all-in/4505-3181_7-32129819.html?ar=otag=pdtl-list Has anyone on this forum used this device with FreeBSD-6.2; and if so, where you successful? Dell's web site shows only Windows drivers for this printer. Lexmark says no Linux drivers for the X9350, either. Dell + Lexmark + AIO - (Linux|FreeBSD drivers) = no thanks. There are wireless print servers and access points with printer ports that will let you make most non-host-based printers wireless. Costs more, but gives more choices. The openprinting.org site is a good place to check printer compatibility. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The openprinting.org site is a good place to check printer compatibility. Be *VERY* careful if you decide to purchase one. They are very strict about what printers THEY will and won't work with and in exactly what capacity. I bought one companies wireless version, only to be told the printer was only supported on the wired one. I purchased the wired one and it was an ever loving SOB to get working. I ended up just attaching it to a Winderz PC and making the Winderz a print server.
