Bug Description

The colour printer "Dell 3100cn" appears not to be supported at first glance.

However, the "Lexmark Optra Color 1200" is supported & uses the same drivers.

Would it be possible to add support for the "Dell 3100cn" by linking it to the same driver the "Lexmark Optra Color 1200" uses?

No need to link since the Lexmark Optra Color 1200 uses a generic PostScript PPD, you can just as well select System > Administration > Printing, add printer, make: Generic and driver: PostScript.
Better is to install the PPD file for your specific printer that is included on the CD ROM that came with your printer (http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-3100cn).

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db - 20080904-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db (20080904-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o Fixed generic PostScript driver to get working with the PDF workflow.
       The driver got broken in the upstream release from August 21 and it
       had already problems before (LP: #259318).
     o Ricoh has fixed several problems reported by "cupstestppd" in their
       PPDs (Upstream bug #164).
     o Changed recommended driver for the HP Color LaserJet 35xx/36xx from
       "pxljr" to "hpijs". The former driver has problems with some colors
       (LP: #228635) and duplex does not work, too.
     o Added entries for Lexmark E120 and E120n (LP: #135489), the
       Dell 3100cn (LP: #90718), and the Okidata B4350 (LP: #203358).
     o Fixed typos in printer model names which made some listed PPDs
       not accessible: HP LaserJet 4345 MFP, HP Color LaserJet 9500 MFP,
       Brother HL-2060, HP DesignJet 750, Apple 12 640ps, Ricoh Aficio 5206
       (Red Hat bug #459847).
     o Changed recommended driver of Brother HL-2060 to "hpijs" (Upstream
       bug #166, Red Hat bug #292021).
     o Fixed PPDs for the "pbm2l7k" driver (Upstream bug #167).
     o Added IEEE 1284 device ID for Lexmark E120n (Red Hat bug #201318).
  * debian/rules: Replace the wrong "*1284DeviceId" by "*1284DeviceID" in
    the PPDs (Upstream bug #164).
