Ricoh SP 150SUw printer stopped working after updating to macOS

Hello SweetLittle16,

Actually, I didn't modify the drivers to make them work.

Procedure is to use regular install procedure with later Ricoh SP150 drivers. Once printer is properly configured (but still not working), you should go with the 2 steps I described.

it worked for me, thanks! I did not use the terminal but copied the file to desktop, made the change, then replace.

others might find Finder>go>go to folder and, right click on the file->get info to change the extension useful.

Hello, jtollet.

Thanks for your solution. But unfortunately it doesn't work for me. And I try to figure out what's going wrong. First, when I follow /etc/cups/ppd/.. I see, that there are 2 files there: RICOH_SP_150SU.ppd and RICOH_SP_150SU.ppd.O with the same data. So I tried to rename

*cupsFilter:        "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 RICOH_SP_150SUFilter.app

into

*cupsFilter:        "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 RICOH_SP_150SUFilter

on both of them. When I follow /usr/libexec/cups/filter/... I see RICOH_SP_150SUFilter file, already without .app. But when I try to print something, I get an error: "Software for the printer is missing. Contact the manufacturer for the latest compatible software." Are there any ideas, what's the problem? Thanks in advance.

Could you be a bit more specific, please)))) Should I rename the file in /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ dir exactly like it is in /etc/cups/ppd/RICOH_SP_150SU.ppd? It seems to me, that they are named the same.

yeahh!!! jtollet, diremezov, thanks a lot!!! It finally worked for me! I edited it with Atom, and it worked fine, the problem was in renaming, I didn't understand, that I should rename it through properties. Thanks once more!

thanks everyone, I solved the problem, now the printer works.
thanks especially to diremezov for his explanations.
to make the necessary changes I used BBEdit
sorry for my english, I used google translate

Hello,

I need some more help, please:

when I write into the terminal "sudo nano /etc/cups/ppd/RICOH_SP_150.ppd"

it works, I can give in my password, but there appears an empty field, none of the recommanded lines where I should delate the"app"

Not this line: *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 RICOH_SP_150Filter.app"

or : /usr/libexec/cups/filter/RICOH_SP_150Filter.app

Where can I find them?

Thanks

Grazie per l'aiuto! Dopo aver inserito /etc/cups/ppd/ nella finestra della cartella e premuto il tasto Invio, non succede nulla: il contenuto non viene visualizzato. Perché?

Thanks for your help! After entering /etc/cups/ppd/ in the folder window and pressing the Enter key, nothing happens: the contents are not displayed. Why?

Hi, Ricoh doesn't support Sonoma. So I tried to follow your instructions. Terminal says "command not found". What can I do to find "edit /etc/cups/ppd/RICOH_SP_150.ppd"?

Thanks for further support!

Hi, what did the Ricoh tech support say? I have this problem too(((
