[Hidden-tech] Question

[Herb Singleton]

The key phrase here is "Dell all-in-one." I faced this problem a few  
months back when setting up a network for a friend.

Generally you can use the same printer for Macs and PCs - I currently  
have a Minolta laser printer and Brother all-in-one that work very  
well on my mixed Mac/Windows network. The problem is that Dell  
doesn't have Mac drivers for their printers. If your unit has a  
network interface and can communicate using Postscript, IP or Windows  
Printing Service you should be okay using it on the network with your  
Mac..

If it's a USB printer, than you'll have to connect it to your Windows  
machine and install (free) software on the machine to share it as a  
Postscript printer that your Mac can talk to. It's doable, but it  
will take some work.
