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=o&tag=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
