A lot of Dell Printers are not made by Dell but are rebadged from another vendor. I too had problems with my Dell 1230c is a rebadged Samsung 315.  Yosemite would not give me full access to my printer with many options greyed out. I knew I could use the samsung cartridges so I went to the Samsung site and dl'd and installed. Everything is works as it should.

So now you may have to find one similar also check other ones like Brother if its similar.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for that reply! Really? Hmm! So should I just look for a printer of another brand that looks like my printer and then download that driver? I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Thanks for the reply!!!

Do a little search from what I gathered they are rebranded.  When I updated to 10.10 and went to print graphics,paper and printer features were greyed out.  Since I found out my particular printer was rebadged Samsung I went to their site and downloaded the driver. I got all my features backed in fact I set up default to print black only rather than the default that gave me muddy blacks as it wasting the color toners.

I am not familiar with yours so I would look at Lexmark, brother and samsung to see if one looks similar. You could also try ghost print as an open source but you may have to load foo print. I know I had to that on someones HP Printer that was being shared on her XP machine as she got a Mac Mini but did not have usb printer at that time.

I often wonder if anyone from Dell actually read the forums and see how customers can be frustrated.

Good luck.
