To talk to a networked Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer using OS X 10.4 follow these steps.
Download the driver for the DocuPrint C525 from here: http://www.fujixerox.com.au/support/drivers/307
Double click the icon to install after it downloads. When the install is finished you can delete the installer.
From the Apple menu open System Preferences and select Print & Fax.
Click the + to add a printer.
Select IP Printer.
Select for the Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
Type the IP address: 192.168.1.177 or whatever it happens to be assigned on your network. You may need a Windows machine to configure an IP address OR you can look at your routers DHCP table for where it was assigned. After you know this you can actually log into the printer from your web browser to change any settings.
Name the printer “color laser” or whatever you’d like it to be.
For Print Using select: FX
Next select FX DocumPrint C525 A-AP v1.2 in the box below.
On the next screen you must select 250 Sheet Feeder is as an option. Otherwise it will only manual feed.
Click Ok.
Print something.
Paper Source is not automatically selected on this printer. It won’t print unless you set it. This is found in the printer options called Printer Features. The paper should menu should be set to Auto or 250 Sheet Feeder.
Do a Save As… for the Printer Profile. So you don’t have to check this every time the set that Profile as the Default.
The steps for OS X 10.5 are nearly the same. The difference is that you don’t have to download the driver from the website.
NOTE:
There is NO way to set the main paper tray so it is remembered. You have to do it manually each time or make a Setting that you select before printing. See the screen shots below.
