Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cupsys

I even tried adding this one manually, using the generic PostScript
driver, but when the page was sent to the printer, I am only met with an
"A4 Load" message when printing a test page.  I also tried changing the
settings to not be A4 by default, to no avail...

Some people have claimed to got it working, but have not provided details:

Still, even in Gutsy, there should be an entry under the Dell category for the 
5100cn product, and there is not.  Maybe this needs to be pulled from upstream? 
 OpenPrinting lists a PPD and appears to be supported.

The RPM can be found directly from Dell:
