Ricoh SP 150SUw printer stopped working after updating to macOS

I found a way to print and scan with wi-fi on my iPad using the "Ricoh Printer" application

Yes, you are correct. OS 14 is Sonoma, which is the one following Ventura. But the link I posted is from the Ricoh web site and they did list that they had a driver for 14.

This printer works fine with other computers. Incompatibility is only with latest MacOS Sonoma

I also messaged RICOH support asking if and when a new driver would be released that was over 10 days ago, still no response. I fi recall it took then ages to release new drives after the Mojave roll out :( In the meantime I have to fire up my Windows laptop for printing

German Customer Support told me it could take some time, because macOS isn‘t a broadly used system.

I guess they‘re working on it, but it‘s no priority. All the other hacks didn‘t work for me, so I‘m using an older MacBook with Ventura… Guess, we have to wait and see. Sorry :/

And yes - it is legal, if they don‘t provide an update. The printer is kind of old, and you don‘t have to offer updates forever (even in the EU).

You need to do exactly the same as indicated in the instructions in the best reply. In /etc/cups/ppd/RICOH_SP_150.ppd you only need to remove the .app. Do it via BBEdit. Not built-in textedit or pages. And then, through the properties of the file /usr/libexec/cups/filter/RICOH_SP_150Filter.app, delete the .app. Don’t just rename it, but through the file properties!

I have same issue. This seems to be a codesign like issue as cups reports a signal 9 received by the filter...

I've not been able to fix it as of now.

Did you even read the thread? We‘re all having Sonoma installed, which is NOT listed on their Website.

just found this thread, i am having the same issue, unfortunately.

SP150 doe not print in Sonoma but works find in Windows 10, i wish Ricoh would offer a Quick fix for this.

I have the very same issue! Is there anyone who came up with any workaround so far?

Both of my family Macs run Sonoma and neither can print with our RICOH SP 150SUw. Nothing happens except for shor term queue pop-up.

I'd be grateful for any solution to enable printing from home office back for me...

I'm sorry, I read the original posting above which says "After updating to macOS 14, the printer doesn't work any longer." I assumed that was the OS having the issue since it was the one mentioned. If you are having a problem with Sonoma, I suggest that you post your own thread since that is a different issue.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply, but I've already checked on the site but they haven't updated the driver for the latest version of Mac OS Sonoma. I was wondering if the other people on the topic had received a reply from the manufacturer Ricoh to find out when the driver upgrade to Sonoma was going to take place.

Thanks for the link, it's perfect! I filled in and sent a form with my company name! I hope to have an answer soon. I think we'll have to wait at least 6 months from the date of Apple's update to hope to see the driver change on Ricoh.

It seems to me that this was already the case with the previous big update.

Hi! It's great you've found away however when I follow the steps and reboot then try to print the following message is reflected in the queue: "Software for the printer is missing. Contact the manufacturer blah blah blah"

What am I missing here? For the second step there was nothing to rename, the file was without ".app" rightaway

Hello Jerome and all,

Thank you for your post, this sounds very promising. So you have found the solution to the printer problem with Sonoma. But unfortunately I don't know how to change the code of the driver app. Can you please please upload your modified driver to Ricoh Printer Drivers v3.0.1 for macOS or to dropbox, so we can all use it?

Many thanks and kisses, SweetLittle16
