  1. You need to be running Bonjour on the Dell to share the printer to Macs-

    Your mac will pick up the signal that the Dell will be emitting if Bonjour is running... when the two are hooked up to the same network.


  2. Yes it is.

    First setup file and print sharing

    Then use the network neighborhood to browse to the printer.

    When you double click on it, a popup will ask for the driver disk. Insert the driver disk and click ok.
