Settings can be adjusted, but printing fails via ethernet - same as wireless.Įthernet cable or wireless access via Safari from Mac laptop to the router IP address brings up the router interface. Is that an open port on the Mac Where do I configure ports in OS10.6.8 Mac Firewall is on. The push button connection btw printer and router did not work, even for the WinOS laptops. Macs Win units all successfully access the router for www and email. If the print job is deleted, the printer icon status changes to green idle light.Ĭurrently using the default Dell IP address for the wireless operation. MacOS seems to be connecting to the printer, because during a wireless print job attempt, the printer list icon shows a yellow busy light, and the text shows Connecting to Printer with the spinning dial - it never makes the connection. Macs are configured for both the USB printer version and the network with IP address version, with both icons showing in the Mac printer list.

So now I can print manual duplex without having to walk back and forth between computer and printer all the time (yay). Google also has a cloud-print-connector tool that probably does the same thing, but, eh, the first one works fine. From the VM I added the printer to my registered Google Cloud Print printers, and then used the CUPS Cloud Print utility to add it as a CUPS-enabled printer. Go figure.Īs suggested in the comments, it was necessary to add the printer in a Windows VM client and use a sharing service to make it available to Linux clients. Note that when adding the printer Windows automatically created a WSD port, but I couldn't find a way to enable duplex when the printer's switched to that port. Also hadn't noticed that the prompt message that shows up on the printer display has a WSD footer at the bottom, leading me to think that for some reason the manual duplex feature is implemented thru the Web Services Device API even though Windows is (supposedly) communicating with a TCP/IP port alone. Strangely, the auto-prompt manual duplex option is only available when connected to the printer over TCP/IP, and does not work over USB.

Dell doesn't offer those drivers in Linux flavor, and I don't know enough about PCL drivers to attempt any conversions.

Some goofing around led me to the following conclusions: PS driver does not support manual duplex where the printer display prompts you, PCL v4 driver in Windows does. Welp, that didn't take long for me to give up. (Edit) Modified Windows ppd driver file, ditto Here's the Open Print Driver (OPD), modified to work with cups I'll continue to update this question as I try more stuff, but I'm open to any other suggestions from anybody bored enough to help.

Short of reverse-engineering the firmware I don't know what else to change in the. If I were to guess, this printer has some sort of custom flag that's sent to the print server from the Windows driver, but I don't have any way to verify. Granted, manual duplex works in Windows just fine, so this is primarily an academic exercise. In addition to the default Windows driver, I also modified the Dell "Open Print" driver that's supposed to be widely compatible with all of Dell's Laser/LED printers with embedded print servers, same result. I also tried lp sides=two-sided-long-edge, same result.

However, when a duplex job is sent to the printer from Linux, it comes out as one-sided, without the printer display prompting the user to put pages back into the tray. As expected, duplex options were now available when configuring a print job.

ppd file and make it compatible with cups under Linux Mint (see attached file). Just for giggles I used dos2unix to edit the Windows. ppd file for E525w does not have the lines for setting duplex options, and thus by default the only duplex option available when printing under Linux is one-sided.
#Dell printer 525 driver how to
ppd file in the Windows driver has the expected lines about configuring a print job for duplex printing, so one would expect that the printer firmware "knows" how to handle duplex jobs despite lacking a duplexer. This suggests that the manual duplex feature is baked into the printer's firmware, as it doesn't require the user to do anything on the client computer after the initial job is sent. To elucidate, when printing under Windows with provided drivers the user can set duplex options normally ( one-sided, long-edge, short-edge), and then the printer's lcd display prompts the user to manually put the pages back into the paper tray after half the job is complete (and press the Okay button to finish the job). ppd file that hasn't been updated since 2015, and that doesn't support the manual duplex mode that is apparently hard-coded into the printer's firmware. Dell's Linux support for this printer is limited to a.
