Dell 3115CN Drivers and Utilities for Mac Monterey

I have updated my Mac to Monterey and have lost my printer!

I was using it ok on Big Sur and I remember there was something tricky about installing it as there is no CD facility but I can't remember what I did to get it installed and working.

I've tried the Dell downloads and none of them work.

Any ideas?

TIA!

If you've upgraded your Mac to Monterey and are having trouble using your Dell printer, it's possible that the printer driver may not be compatible with the new operating system.

Here are a few steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:

  1. Check for driver updates: Visit the Dell website and check for any updated printer drivers that are compatible with Monterey. If an updated driver is available, download and install it.

  2. Use Apple's AirPrint: If your Dell printer supports AirPrint, you can use this feature to print from your Mac. To do this, simply connect your printer to the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac and add the printer using the "Add Printer or Scanner" option in System Preferences.

  3. Use a generic driver: If an updated driver is not available and your printer does not support AirPrint, you may be able to use a generic driver. In System Preferences, go to "Printers & Scanners" and click the "+" button to add a printer. Choose the "Generic" option from the list of printer manufacturers and select a generic driver that matches your printer's capabilities.
