Q: OSX 10.9 Can't print on Ricoh network printer
Hi community,
I'm using an MBPr 15" late 2013 running OSX 10.9. My company uses an Ricoh Aficio MP C3002 network based printer.
With "Printers and scanners" it was quite easy to find and install the Ricoh. After this I ran Software update and installed the latestt printer from the Apple store.
And now it got weird: the printer showed up, was connected and startet the jobs. But nothing was printed. Looking in the job-list I saw these jobs with my user id shown as aborted. Using Terminal I pinged the Ricoh - worked flawless.
Our network ist Exchange Server 2003-based, the Ricoh is directly connected to the network. Prior to the MBP my machine was an quite antique windows machine connected to the same network.
At home I use a Brother network printer which works fine (and prints so far).
Any ideas what could be wrong ?
Help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks !
Michael

Back again....
...unfortunately with bad news. Since the actual plxmono seemed to support only OSX 10.8 and the Aficio MP C3001 our IT didn't recommend to use it, in fact they advised me explicitely not to install it.
OK - that means no such workaround for OSX 10.9 and the newer Ricohs without PS3.
Instead we had to install the Ricoh under Windows 7 prof/Parallels 9. Works fine since the Win drivers all are PCL.
It's a shame that a printer as expensive as the Ricoh (ca. € 3500) comes without PS3, you have to buy the option for another €600 !!! Back at home I use a Brother network printer for €99 which works just fine with PS3.
