Anyone good with Mac's?

Recently i bought a printer from Dell with the idea to use it with all pc's and mac's in the house. It has a wifi module so u can access the printer over the network. Unfortunatly seems that dell doesn't support Mac's
After lots of researches i found out that the printer is in fact Lexmark X7170 and the wifi adaptor too. The lexmark printer HAS drivers for linux , mac, dos...all. I've tryed to install them on my wife;s iMac and seems that the drivers looks for lexmark strings so, it will not work with my dell printer. If anyone can help me I'll realy apreciate it.
Also i managed to put my hand on firmware for the printer but seems in the printer is stored a serial number from which the firmware deceide if to show Lexmark or Dell.

Dell is very good about putting in checks so people cannot update this firmware with the OEM firmware. I found this out on other printers. The printer is now useless. They also like to make it so that hardware they don't support, don't work. So I would be careful about hacking the firmware. Why don't you try sharing the printer on a PC using Appletalk? I was able to get this work for several schools I did some labor contracts for.

But then i didn't done no good. I wanted to share a printer without needing to have a pc online all the time. That was the all point of buying a printer with wifi connector
Anyway, going to buy the lexmark version too and going to clone them. I'll post the results here
