3000cn, Apple drivers?
Hallo all,
I recently got a Dell 3000cn. There was about Postscript support at the specifications, but when I print from Mac, I see only an abrakadabra on the printed page:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%RBINumCopies: 1
%%Pages: (atend)
%APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8
%%Title:
Does anybody have a link for that printer's driver for MacOS X?

If it is, have a look at the print settings: some apps allow you to chose between ASCII and binary Postscript output. See if switching that option helps.

I force it to work with CUPS http://www.cups.org/ and Gutenprint http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/p_Features.php3. It works with PPD (driver analog) "Generic PCL6". And there is one problem - it doesn't print color. So I think that I have to find PPD for another printer of the same manufacturer as the Dell's 3000cn manufacturer. But I have no idea what manufacturer builds Dell 3000cn.

I've installed espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg, foomatic-rip-3.43.2.15.ppc.dmg and pxlmono PPD, but can still only print in B&W. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.

Another thing I noticed is how long it takes to print. The spooling process was very long for just a one page web page print job, with graphics. I'm talking about a full minute to spool and begin the print process... as opposed to a couple of seconds when printing the same from a Windows machine.

After trying a number of "how to's" from various places on the internet and getting nowhere, finally, the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8245788 absolutely worked for me under macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
