DELL AIO printer help...

[dbpbandit]

I have a DELL AIO 926 printer connected to my Kubuntu 8 via USB. It seems to see the printer but I cant get a test page to print and I cant seem to locate any drivers for it (outside of the Windows ones) Can someone tell me what I should do to get it to work please? thanks.

Wow, your printer is unsupported:

This is the official place for linux printer drivers. Just to know what works and what not. The drivers are always in the cups package (it they exist). Many., many printers are very well supported, notably most HP's. However, and despite Dell's efforts to support Linux, their printers are apparently rebranded Lexmark's, which have terrible support in Linux overall:

Sorry, I would probably complain with Dell! The more of their customers complain, the more likely they will do something about it!
