Ricoh MP C2500 not printing after upgrading to Yosemite

Hi Matt again...

SUCCESS!

Using LPD and the correct static ip addresses of the printers, it now works.

Just had to reinstall everything then run your command file again and success.

Thanks again for your expertise!

Yes I have Ricoh Aficio MP 4500 PXL in the Type. When I print, the printer icon in the dock pops up as if everything worked fine, but nothing comes out of the printer, and nothing remains in the queue, nor I find any error message.

Is this a networked printer? You might want to look at the posts right after yours by garyjbirch.

One mac mini with Yosemite now printing to HP CP6015 having lost the 'filter' failed error message... thanks Matt, your place in which ever heaven you prefer is reserved.

This also worked on my Samsung ML 1210 laser printer. It now prints, since updating to Yosemite. I did reset the printing system, prior to finding message. I have no idea if it was necessary, however I didn't hurt. A ton of thanks to you!

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been using a Samsung ML-1210 for some time and when it stopped with Yosemite, I expected to have to replace it. This fixed the problem.

Good morning Matt,

Thanks so much for providing this work around. I began having printing issues with a Ricoh Aficio MP C4502A following my upgrade to Yosemite, but your solution solved the problem. The one thing I missed when applying your fix is that the affected printer must be installed for the patch to be successful; I had uninstalled it while trying to come up with my own work around. Also, I had to use the driver for the Ricoh Aficio MP C4501A, but that has not caused any problems with functionality as far as I can tell. Thanks again for making my printing problems vanish! Have a great day!

God bless,

Bill

Many Thanks Matt. My HP895cxi lives to print for another decade!!

Hi,

I am relatively new to Macs, and I am having trouble installing a networked Ricoh Aficio MP C3501 (non-PostScript) printer. It seems the native driver is for PostScript version of this printer only. I am running a new MacBook Air.

When I try to add printer via IP address & connect, I get this message:

"Unable to verify the printer on your network.

Unable to connect to ‘xx.xxx.xx.xx’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?"

I have tried the steps here, with no success:

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o#pxlmono_1.6_for_Mac_OS_X_10.3.x_.28Panther.29_-_Mac_OS_X_10.8.x_.28Mountain_L i on.29

I am assuming because of some of the changes made in Yosemite.'

I have tried the fix here, but it wonder if it will only work if you had the printer installed PRIOR to upgrading to Yosemite, and this would repair the "broken connection":

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Chuck

Matt,

yes you are right I followed what garyjbirch did, I uninstalled the printer, pxlmono, ghostscript and foomatic and reinstalled everything back. Then I ran the patch you provided and now everything works fine now.

Many thanks!

Chuck,

I am far from expert on network printers. What protocol are you trying to use for the printer. I would recommend you try HP JetDirect - Socket. Add the printer even if the computer tells you that it can't verify the printer. After the printer has been added, run the patch I posted. What happens when you try to print after those steps?

Hey Chuck,

I was having a similar issue with our Ricoh Aficio MP C4502A after upgrading to Yosemite. Here's the procedure that worked for me:

• Follow the procedure that you mentioned (i.e. install pxlmono, foomatic, and ghostscript)
• Install printer using the LDP protocol and the appropriate non-postscript driver
• Install / run the patch provided by Matt Broughton

I ran into a problem installing the patch initially because I didn't have the printer installed, so make sure you follow these three steps in order. Good luck!

God bless,

Bill

That did the trick! Thanks Matt & Bill!!

This worked for my Samsung ML-1430, thanks.

Matt, you are awesome, have been struggling with this broken critical function since installing Yosemite beta. Can now move forward confidently.

Somebody please help me, i still cannot print from Mac.

My office using Ricoh Aficio MP3350, i have install all pxlmono, foomatic & ghostscript and printer driver. But still blank page come out
