Usually the "OpenPrinting Database" at
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting
helps but the "Dell w5300" is not listed there.

If the Dell w5300 is a real PostScript printer (you may have to ask Dell
if this printer "understands" PostScript directly), get its matching
PPD file (PostScript Printer Description) from Dell and use this
to set up a print queue.

For some background information you may have a look at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Purchasing_a_Printer_and_Compatibility
and
