Getting Started
The supplied Drivers and Utilities CD provides you with Dell's printer driver package for use with a Linux-based computer.
Dell's printer driver package provides the ability to print documents. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring your printer.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of printer devices via a USB port.
The printer driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You do not need to search for additional components necessary for the
printer software: all required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically. This is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux
clones.
