I can ping my network printer, but cannot print I've updated to macOs Sonoma a few days ago and I went to print a document to our Canon Image Runner Advance C5535 iii and it says it cannot print. I reinstalled the print driver, reset the system, had to manually install the printer (did not come up as an option to add so I added it via IP address, comes up with not able to communicate with the printer and yet when I ping the printer, it is successful. Is my mac no longer compatible with the printer? That's the only thing I can think of.

Help, RICOH MP C2011SP Cant Print Color on Mac OS Monterey Hello, at the office we have a Recoh copier model MP C2011SP that's connected to the office wifi network and so far everyone could print with there windows laptops, but the staff recently upgraded to MacBooks all running on MacOS Monterey. Sadly this model doesn't support AirPrint and so I have no other options but to try using the PPD drivers (ver:3.9.0.0) provided by Ricoh for this Model. Here are the steps I performed. 1)Installed the PPD drivers ver:3.9.0.0 2)Added New Printer via Network using the IP set on the Ricoh Copier 3)Used the following protocols (each one at different attempts) JetDirect and also Line Printer Daemon-LPD protocols except for IPP protocol which would give an error during the installation. 4)The Drivers would auto detect the model MPC C2011SP and install without a hitch 5)When trying to print, the job would go through (the Copier would even rumble as if about to print) but then nothing would happen, no print, when checking the Copier the error log says "print data error." But if I follow the same steps and instead of letting the USE field stay on "Drivers Auto Detect" and change it to "Generic PCL Printer" it installs but prints in black and White. And the staff needs it to print out in color. Iv been searching online for different solution but I cant seem to find a solution for this matter. Is there anything you guys could advice me to do?
