Problem with Ricoh MP C2500 Printer

If you can connect to a mac running 10.5 and you can enable printer sharing for that printer through the 10.5 box, then you can print to it as a shared printer on your network. That's what I did with my MP 2050. It is not possible to scan and push the file to your snow leopard computer. Once again, I connect to a shared folder on a machine running 10.5 and pull my scans from there. We will have to wait until Ricoh updates their drivers.

Ricoh provides PCL drivers for this printer through the Ghostscript driver pxlcolor. You will find all you need at _ http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/pxlmono_.

Download and install (in this order) Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP, and the pxlmono package. You should then be able to set up your printer through Print & Fax System Preference pane.

If you need to set User Codes, I have a small text based script that will lead you through the process. You can download it at _ http://webpages.charter.net/mbroughtn/beta/RicohUserCodes.zip_

This printer is supported by the package provided by apple here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/RicohPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106

Traditionally, Ricoh only makes PostScript drivers available for Mac OS X. That is also what the Apple list indicates. The original poster indicates that the optional PostScript module for the printer is not installed.

Hi Matt

I have a Macbook Pro unibody 13.3, and wanted to print thru Mac OS Snow Leopard, I have follow this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9013204 and down load set up, but still not able to print, I also download the driver linked on this thread, but no luck either

Why I manually set IP address on the printer 198.168.1.10, its print out garbage and too many blank pages

any other suggestion?

wanted to print thru Mac OS Snow Leopard

Please explain. Where/how is the printer accessed? Are you trying to print from Snow Leopard to a network printer?

Have you installed the Ricoh printer drivers from _ http://support.apple.com/kb/DL902_ ?

It also looks like you may have a permissions problem with your user name.

Hi Matt

Printer on network, and I have tried LAN/Wireless, still no luck

I installed the driver for Snow Leopard from apple web site, I was messing around and see if I can set the printer from wed base instead of print&fax, and I may select something that cause user name issue, however there is no log-in / pass word to use the printer.

I also installed the recommend s/w in order, and still same problem.

I called the Ricoh ref said you need postcript 3 (PS3) and they wanted $975.00 to install the module that work for MAC, it's true?

I have no problem to print B/W or color from VMware windows

Matt,

After uninstall / delete everything out from mac, reinstall all necessities drivers, and now Ricoh work like a charm, thank you very much for your help and support

If you are locally in San Jose, Ca. I love to buy you a drink

Thanks

Glad to hear that it is working for you.

Matt

After fuming over the lack of an official driver for my Ricoh Aficio GX3050sfn, I (finally) scrolled through the list of printers supported by the above mentioned Linux Foundation software, and found the GX3050sfn listed. I installed the three packages, and it works!
Thanks so much,
