Ricoh SP 150SUw printer stopped working after updating to macOS

Even though the last printer driver update is from 2021, I never had any problems. So far. After updating to macOS 14, the printer doesn't work any longer. The document appears very briefly in the printer queue (Print Centre) and vanishes again. The printer stays silent and doesn't print!

First, you should try removing the printer from your printer Printers & Scanners section of System Settings, and then reenter it. If that fails to work, you will need to download and install a Ricoh printer driver that specifically works with your installed operating system. Please keep in mind that whenever we install an operating system upgrade or some OS updates, printers and scanners will often stop working. Then a new OS compliant printer software must be installed. What you can do is to thoroughly check the printer web site for an updated driver that works. If one is not available, then you should ask when one will be released. If that doesn't work, if the Printer has the Air Print feature, that can be used and no driver will be needed. If not, then you can check the respected web site below where volunteers write free drivers for older printers which are no longer supported, but which work with newer operating systems. It is worth checking out. Good luck.
