We use quite a few Dell printers here with our filePro applications.
Unfortunately, their laser based multifunction printers only support PCL6 or
Postscript anymore. The 1600 series was the last one that supported PCL5,
that I recall.  We do use their 1700 series laser printers and they work
great. In filePro we set them up with the HPLaser3 printer definition.
