What really matters here is not what computer you have, rather what operating system is running on your computer. Some examples of operating systems are Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Linux.

I have discovered that using this printer with a Windows OS should be fine, unless you have Windows 7. According to Dell's support center, your printer is not compatible with Windows 7. But, Dell seems to think it may still be possible, if you try these instructions.

Unfortunately, it also looks like your printer is not compatible with Linux or any Mac OS.
