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!
Hello all,
Good news, I happened to fix this problem on Sonoma.
Here is what I did as a root (using sudo command in the terminal):
1) edit /etc/cups/ppd/RICOH_SP_150.ppd and replace the line
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 RICOH_SP_150Filter.app"
with
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 RICOH_SP_150Filter"
2) rename (or copy) /usr/libexec/cups/filter/RICOH_SP_150Filter.app
into
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/RICOH_SP_150Filter
Restart your system and it will work !
MacOS doesn't like the suffix ".app" for the filter binary and creates all sort of security problems because of it...

Went via the enquiries on the support page
Thank you for finding out. This sounds promising! However resigning RICOH_SP_150Filter.app didn't work for me. Did you succeed?
Hello,
Do you have any news about the sonoma driver for the Ricoh 150 su?
Do you think they may never update? Is this legal?
I might be wrong, but I‘m pretty sure MacOS 14 is Sonoma.
Not yet...
Hello, do you have an e-mail address or a link to contact support? That way, if several of us ask for an update, maybe they'll think it's a good idea to do it quickly?
Great idea!
I haven't got email but for french support, this form is available : https://www.ricoh.fr/contactez-nous/services-enquiry/
Maybe another for german, english and other countries?
It just tells me the command doesn't exist... but honestly, not a terminal pro either.
Thank you so much - my printer is working again! Took me some time to figure out the second step as well, but I finally made it :D Thank you!!!
You're welcome. Happy to see that we resolved this issue !
Can someone record a video instruction how to do it? Please
Sorry
But it is not very clear the steps to be taken
I'm not very practical
You can kindly explain well the steps to be performed
Thank you
This method didn't work for me. I did everything as written, but the system says that the software was not installed correctly. Without reinstallation the printer does not work.
Can someone write more detailed instructions or post a video?
