I had missed Andre's post but I went back and found it. This is the URL
Andre supplied:

http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-Photo_AIO_Printer_922

And in it my printer is described as a "paperweight". Eg it's useless as a
printer because the only drivers for it are M$ Windows based drivers ;-(

I would have to say that your printer might simply not be compatible with

No, the printer does not work at all !!!

Could be time to get another printer. There are lots of printers that work

Thank you for the links (URLs).

*** What printers do ppl here recommend for use with Linux UBUNTU ???

I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on a printer, cos money is tight *SMILE*.

Can someone please recommend a printer which is well supported and won't
cost an arm and a leg. *SMILE*

Also, do All-in-one (printer / scanners) work with Linux UBUNTU ??? As I
miss having a working scanner.

Yours Sincerely,
