First things first. Which OS are you using? Please post the output of uname -a.

Also; are you using CUPS or LPR(ing)?
run ps -ef | egrep 'cupsd|lpd' - what's the output?

If you're using Linux or one of the *BSDs, check out http://www.linuxprinting.org/ - is your Dell printer listed? Is it a USB or Parallel printer? If it's parallel did you try ls > /dev/lp0 as locustfurnace suggested?

More information please.

Cheers

I think I am way over my head. I have no idea what you want. I guess I'll just buy an HP printer as it works well for what I need. Thanks for your attempt to help.

system-config-printer-applet

SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)						     Man pages						     SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)

NAME

       system-config-printer-applet - print job manager

SYNOPSIS

       system-config-printer-applet [--no-tray-icon]

DESCRIPTION

       system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out
       when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting
       jobs.

       To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke
       the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so
       that it should appear in the system menu.

       As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the
       com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in.

OPTIONS

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version of the applet.

       --no-tray-icon
	   Do not display an icon in the notification area. Quit when the job manager window is closed.
