Driver for Mac OSX 10.8 for Dell V715W

The current driver (R268705) on the Dell driver site will not install on Macs with OS X 10.8.2

When will a compatible version be available, or is there a workaround ??

Gutenprint apparently supports very few Lexmark models, and none in the Pro series

After much searching, here is what is working now for our 2 Macs with OS X 10.8 (Mt Lion)

OK, that looked good up to a point . When trying to "add" the V715w to the Mac's printer list, I have to choose what Lexmark printer it was cloned from. Do you have that info ??

reed,

 

It was something like the Lexmark Pro 700 series. Not sufre if you need Gutenprint for Mac OS X installed or not. It was never clarified for me and I don't own a Mac.

Thank you SO MUCH for this link. 
I couldn't find anything at Dell and was getting really stressed out that I would not be able to use my printer.:emotion-18:

Download it anyway !

It does work with 10.8.2 on my Mac mini, and my daughter's Mac Pro with 10.8.2.  We were one day away from taking the 715 to the dump when we found this driver. Why Dell keeps it a secret, and doesn't update the compatibility info is beyond me. BTW, we also use the 715 with 2 Dell laptops, 1 Dell desktop and 1 Tosh Netbook . (all Win 7)

I have my first MacBook Pro and tried to download the driver indicated on the page above (I have OSX 10.8.2). It said it this version of OSX wasn't supported. Any advice on how the other folks got it to work? Thanks, Anne.
