This is implemented in the 'pxldpl' driver which patches the output of Ghostscript's 'pxlcolor' driver appropriately. Dell presents the printer as a Windows-only printer. It is a rebadged Fuji-Xerox PLW type printer, most probably the DocuPrint C2090 FS.

I own a Dell Color Laser printer model 5130cdn and it has performed very well under Mac OS X 10.6 or lower. However, under Lion the printer went into a paused state after every job; resuming the printer triggered a duplicate job and a further pause. The only workaround was to delete the job before resuming the printer.
Dell 3010cn Mac Os X Driver Dell issued a new driver as of 11/1/2011, in theory Lion compatible. However, it did not fix the problem on my system if the printer was added from the 'Print' pane of System Preferences, choosing from the 'Default' tab. A Dell technical analyst walked me through a fix and it may be useful to others.
It will be important to know the IP address of the printer, particularly if you have more than one networked printer. There are several ways to get the address, here is one: open the Terminal.app from Applications/Utilities, type arp -a, and press Return. You will see a list, and it should include an item similar to:
dell9cf14a.local (10.0.1.106) at 8:0:37:9c:f1:4a on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
In my case the IP address is 10.0.1.106, but this will depend on your network setup. Then do the following steps: 3000cn
  • Download the driver installer for OS 10.7 from Dell.com and run it.
  • As a precaution, use the driver installer to uninstall any earlier version by selecting 'Uninstall' from the pulldown menu. When that is complete, do not close the installer, but rather select 'Easy Install' and run it again.
  • From System Preferences, 'Print' pane, delete the current Dell 5130cdn printer and then proceed to add a printer.
  • Do not select the Dell printer from the 'Default' tab.
  • Click the 'IP' tab and change the 'Protocol' pulldown to 'Line Printer Daemon.'
  • The 'Address' pulldown should list your printer's IP address, as determined earlier: select it.
  • The 'Print Using' pulldown will likely default to a generic driver at this point. Enter a name and location for the printer if you like and then change the 'Print Using' pulldown to 'Select Printer Software...'. In the search bar of the resulting dialog enter 'Dell', choose the correct driver, dismiss the dialog and add the printer.
You should be good to go. Dell 3100cn windows 10 driver
[crarko adds: Printer drivers have often been one of the more painful parts of an OS upgrade. I do remember going through gyrations like this with printers under both Leopard and Snow Leopard installs. It sounds like Dell was pretty quick getting a fix out; some vendors have taken more than six months to upgrade Mac drivers in the past.]

Cheap color laser printer. In contrary to several other color laser printers from Dell this model does not understand PostScript or unpatched PCL. It understands PCL-XL only if one sends the PJL command 'ENTER LANGUAGE = DPL' before sending the actual PCL-XL job. This is implemented in the 'pxldpl' driver which patches the output of Ghostscript's 'pxlcolor' driver appropriately.
