Q: Printing from mac to Ricoh Printer
Hi there,
Could anybody could help me?
I'm running 10.9.5 (Mavericks) and I have a Ricoh Aficio MP C2800 photocopier/printer. I downloaded these three files:
Foomatic 4.0.6
Ghostscript 8.7.1
Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C2800-pxlcolor-Ricoh.ppd
All from here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o
I installed the first two and saved all the files including the driver in a folder within applications. I plugged in the printer via usb (I figured I'd make the networking work later) and found the printer easily. I selected the above ppd driver from the folder I'd saved it to. It let me customise some features - extra paper trays/finishers etc. So good so far.
When I tried to print a test page, it just gets stuck sending the data. I can see the test print in the print queue. It says 'Printing - sending data to printer.' And that's as far as I get.
Can anyone give me some pointers please??
Many thanks,
Will
