• DELL 1320c

    Does anyone know a driver for the Dell 1320c colour laser printer? I'm
    using the USB connection and PS3 driver but it doesn't want to know. I
    could try it on the LAN.

    "PDL/Emulations: Windows only"


    It's a Winprinter, so that's not looking good.

    Some people say it's a rebadged Fujitsu, and to use the Fujitsu-Xerox DocuPrinter C525 drivers for Linux. I don't think anything similar exists
    for RISC OS.

    Gutenprint only lists a handful of Dell, Fujitsu or Xerox models. It could
    be worth a try, but I think it's unlikely to work.

    Perhaps attach it to a Windows machine and use Uniprint?

    On page 119 of the downloadable printer manual it states, PDL/Emulations - Windows only. Which suggests that there are no RISC OS native drivers for
    this printer.

    One possible solution might be to print to PDF and transfer that file to Windows computer and print it from there.

    You might try Laser Jet 6 driver. I got my Samsung CLP-620nd (which is
    CLP only & doesn't support PostScript) to at least print black.
    I have a copy if you need it.

    Thanks. I'll try LJ6. At lease I'm talking to the printer with Iris. Unfortunately there's an address clash and I can't change the IP address
    of the printer (or to do a factory reset).

    Does it not have an LCD screen on the printer, you can usually change
    settings via that or via the PC. I tend to give my printers a static IP address, makes life easier I found.

    It does have a screen with very limited functionality - warning lights for toner low, paper jam and not much else. No text output. I could try with a Windows laptop.

    I'm not sure of the relevance here. The CLP-620nd supports PCL (not CLP,
    which is the model number not a language), hence the LasJet6 driver on
    RISC OS works for it. The Dell 1320c does not appear to support PCL or Postscript, so the LasJet6 driver clearly won't work here.
