We have a Mac Book Pro operating system 10.6.8 which had no problems for the last year connecting to our Aficio Ricoh 1075 wireless printer until this last Thursday when it would print. I reset all the printers on the computer and tried to add the printer, with no luck.
What I did was add a printer and used the Protocol line printer Daemon-Lpd. I put in the address 192.168.0.216 and then the right drivers. It would say it would print 31% of the document and then it would have a hard time trying to find the printer and would start looking for it. I tried to ping the printer and it couldn't find it. I have tried a bunch of different combinations but to no avail.
We have another computer in the office with the 10.6.8 operating system and it doesn't have a problem finding the printer nor does my Mac Book pro with Yosemite on it.
I am at a loss of what to try next.
Let me know if you need any more information.
