Can't print using Ricoh Afisio MP C3000

Hi, I can't print anything with Ricoh Aficio MP C3000 eventhough I have downloaded the driver from both Ricoh and Apple website. When I add printer using IPP it says there is an error. Any idea how can I fix it?

I've found a fix to this.
Go to: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o
and install these in this order:
1.1.3 Ghostscript for Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) - Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mountain Lion)
1.1.2 Foomatic-RIP for Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) - Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mountain Lion)
1.1.1 pxlmono 1.9 for Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) - Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mountain Lion)
Then use Ricoh Aficio MP C3000 PXL

Running 10.6.8 on mac mini. ethernet port quick. I can not print using wireless

Can not print using wireless. It printed fine using ethernet
Running 10.6.8 on mac mini. Ethernet port has quit. (lighting strike I think, it fried two routers, did not get anything else)

Nothing to go on here.
Do you have a wifi capable printer? If so, what model? What happens when you try to set it up?

I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4. Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date. I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems. What's wrong with the iPhone 4?

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Can you print using both USB and Wireless on HP M175nw?

I am having a problem with my new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw. When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer. That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop. Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly. I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad. I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer's menu. I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)? Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly? If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired? What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.
Regards.

Can't print to Ricoh Laser AP2600 even after proper driver installed. Help?

Have a Ricoh Laser AP2600, and a new MacBook Pro with 10.6.3.
Connected the two with an Ethernet cable (the same Ethernet cable I've used successfully for years with this same printer -- it's the right cable). Turned printer on; "Ready to Print" it says.
At first just tried printing without making any downloads or installations, a simple TextEdit document, using the default "Generic Postscript Printer" as the selected printer "driver." Nothing happens -- the computer does not even seem to "recognize" that a printer is connected. Get the message "Connecting to printer..." and then "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds....", and it never succeeds.
Then I searched on the computer for a Ricoh Laser AP2600 driver that may have come with the 10.6.3 install: no such luck.
Then I found the page at the Ricoh site that supposedly has the proper driver:
http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/drute/ra/model/p26a/p26aen.htm#MacOS%20X%2010.6
"MacOS X 10.6 PPD Installer Ver.1.3.0 24/04/2008"
Downloaded it, ran the installer, it was installed.
Went to the "Print and Fax" section of the System Preferences, then added the printer to the printer list by finding its IP address and manually entering it. Succeeded. Proper printer with an icon that looks exactly like my Ricoh Laser AP2600 added to the printer list. Selected it as my default printer. Closed Print SysPref dialog box.
Went back to random TextEdit document, tried printing again. My Ricoh Laser AP2600 appeared as the chosen printer, as hoped, and then I hit "Print," and the Printing Queue window opened. But once again, it was unable to connect to the printer.
Went back to the System Preferences printing pane, the Ricoh is listed on the left and has a green dot next to it, which supposedly indicates that it is OK and ready to print.
I went to Finder and the Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources to insure that the Ricoh Laser AP2600 PPD was there. It was definitely there, along with all alternate nearby variations ("AP2600 PS," "Aficio AP2600," etc.).
Tried printing again. No luck. Tried turning off printer and waiting for a few minutes, unplugged the cable, then turning it back on, replugging back in, printing again, no luck. Tried the same after re-choosing the generic printer driver, no luck. Tried the other kind of generic printer driver, no luck.
Help! This printer works GREAT when it works, and I don't want to have to buy a new one. It worked perfectly fine (and continues to work perfectly fine) when I connect to it with my old PowerBook running 10.4.11. Nothing's wrong with the printer, nor with my MacBook Pro -- all that is missing apparently is the right software or drivers or whatever to make it work.
Any suggestions?

Hooray!
Using your instructions, I finally got the computer to recognize and "ping" the existence of the printer. Once I got that far, it was easy enough to do what was my original goal, to set up a "printer" in the System Preference "Print & Fax" pane and successfully print a document, which I did.
One of the glitch-y final difficulties was that the printer has no way to make any IP address with fewer than 3 digits per field, so that I can't actually make it have the address "14.22.33.44," but rather it must necessarily be "014.022.033.044." While that may seem like a completely unimportant and dismissable detail to an expert such as yourself, to a networking newbie like me it throws one final dilemma in my way: Are the zeros "ignorable" or are they an essential part of the printer's IP? I tried setting the computer's IP with and without the zeros, and then pinging the printer with and without the zeros, and finally on the last configuration -- printer itself with zeros, computer without zeros, pinging of printer's IP without zeros -- the ping succeeded. A little counter-intuitive, but who am I to complain?
So, for the record, to help all the world's Ricoh printer owners out there, assuming this thread will forever be archived: here is a summary of...
*How to make a Ricoh Laser AP2600 work with a 2010-era Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.3*:
Go to Ricoh's "printer driver" Web page at one of these two URLs:
http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/drute/ra/model/p26a/p26aen.htm
or
http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/downloads.asp?tsn=Ricoh-USA&path=http://suppo rt.ricoh.com/bb/html/drute/rc2/model/p26L/p26Len.htm
...and click on "MacOS X 10.6 PPD Installer Ver.1.3.0".
Once downloaded, run the installer's "package" which will place the necessary Ricoh printer drivers in Finder>Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources (you can check to make sure, if you want.)
Turn on the Ricoh, connect it to your Mac with an Ethernet cable. On the Ricoh's little display/button area, press "Menu" and then using the "Up" and "Down" arrows buttons and the "Enter" and "Escape" buttons, scroll through its menus like so: Menu/Host Interface/Network Setup/IP Address until you find the IP address, which likely will be listed as 011.022.033.044. You can leave it as that or change it to anything else you want. But then go to Menu/Host Interface/Network Setup/(etc.) and scroll through the other options: Change "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.000, but make sure to leave all the other settings at 000.000.000.000. Escape back to the "Ready" state.
Turn of the Ricoh, wait a bit, and turn it back on, and scroll back to the IP Address and Subnet Mask to make sure the settings were "remembered." If they weren't for some reason, try again.
Then, on your Mac, go to "System Preferences> Network", click on "Ethernet" on the left column, and in the drop-down menu "Configure IPv4" choose "Manually." Then in the "IP Address" field type in whatever IP address you entered for the printer *but make the final number one digit higher*. Also, *leave off any initial zeros*. Thus, if you left the printer's IP at 011.022.033.044, then make your computer's IP be 11.22.33.45; and so on for any combination of numbers. In the "Subnet Mask" field, enter 255.255.255.0. Leave all the other fields blank. Click "Apply."
Then go to "Applications>Utilities>Network Utility," open the program, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in and the printer is on and the green "Ready" light is illuminated, and click on "Network Utility" "Ping" pane, and enter as the address to Ping your printer's IP address *lacking the initial zeros.* Thus, in our example, enter 11.22.33.44. Click the "Ping" button, and if the program shows pinging happening and a "0% packet loss," then you're connected. If not, go back to the beginning and try again, double-checking each step.
Once you have pinged successfully and are connected, go to System Preferences>Print & Fax, click on the "+" symbol under the list of printers to add a new printer. In the "Add Printer" window that pops up, leave it on "Line Printer Daemon - LPD" Protocol, and enter in to the "Address" line your printer's IP address, *leaving off any initial zeros*.
If the "Print Using" menu automatically detects and chooses "Ricoh Laser AP2600 PS" as the printer driver, then you're set to go; if not, and it remains on "Generic Postscript Printer Driver" or something similar, then in the drop-down menu choose "Select Printer Software" and scroll to near the bottom and choose the proper printer driver, presumably "Ricoh Laser AP2600 PS" (or whatever your exact model is). "Name" it whatever you want. Leave "Queue" and "Location" blank.
Click "Add" and your printer will appear in the list of printers in the "Print & Fax" panel. In the "Default Printer" drop-down menu, choose your new printer as the default. Close System Preferences.
That's it! You should be able to print now. Open a document, choose the "Print" command, check to make sure the Ricoh is the chosen printer in the print dialog box, and that everything is plugged in and turned on, then click "Print." Hopefully, the Ricoh will spit out your document in a second or two! If not, go back and go through the steps again. If it worked for me, it should work for you.

When printing anything off the internet it shrinks the full page into one forth of the full page. How can i print using the enitre page?

Every time I use firefox I can't print full pages off the internet. I will find the page I want, for example, map quest. I push the print button and my printer prints the entire page in one forth of the space. The entire page I printed can be found in the upper left hand corner of the full page, just shrunk down to a fourth of its size. How can i get a full page printed from the internet?

How can I print using only black with the Lexmark Z810?

Mac OS X 10.6.8
Print Using 810 Series driver
Printer Driver Version: 10.6.4
I want to print using only the black cartridge. I'm out of color ink. However, I see no option to print using black only. Consequently, when I print a document, only the parts of it that are black with show up on the paper. Anything that has another color will not appear on the page. Is there a solution to this problem?

Print Options can be hard to find and sometimes seem to change locations depending on OSX version or printer model. Here is where it is on the print dialog on my mini with HP printer.

Can't Print Using lp

I added an HP Deskjet 3420 using the CUPS web configruation. I can only print a test page (which probably means the driver at least is working).
However, using
lp Untitled\ 1.odt
yields no results. It simply addes the job but does not print the one character in the file.
I tried using hp-print; however, it stops with this error:
Print command failed with status code 1. lpr -P deskjet_3420 -o page-set=all "/home/robin/text.txt"
Note: hp-print doesn't allow me to print ODT files so I just used a plaintext file for testing purposes.

Let's just leave aside odt files for the moment. The title of the thread says you have trouble printing with lp, and you said you did test it with a plain text file. Once we have lp working on plain text files, you may need to consider whether lp is the best choice for printing odts.

I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I need to know how can I print using Aficio MP C4000

I can not print after I added the printer
my laptop (MacBook Pro) using OS X 10.6.8 and my printer model is Aficio MP C4000
when I give the order print from my laptop to print the printer will print a empty paper and never stop printing
its network contact.

Just to clarify, you are asking the best way to transfer a backup from a mac saved on an external HDD, to a PC that is running Windows, not another mac that is running Windows?

Can't print using ethernet connection

I am running Lion (10.7.4) on new Macbook Pro and am not able to connect my printer (HP LaserJet 5000GN) via an ethernet connection. I've downloaded the software drivers from Apple (v. 2.9) and used software update to make sure I am fully up to date, and restarted.
When I select System Preferences>Print and Scan and the click "+" in the dialog box, the Add Printer window comes up with nothing in the default window. When I go to the IP window in Add Printer the three options are IPP, LPD, and Socket. If I enter my IP address in the address box (I get a "Valid and complete address" verification in the window, I also pinged the printer successfully in Network Utility), and select the HP LJ 5000 series in the "print using" box, IPP gives me an error and LPD and Socket tells me "Unable to verify the printer on your network. It can not be currently determined if ‘192.168.0.4’ supports the HP JetDirect Protocol. Would you still like to create the queue?" If I select it anyway, it gets hung up on the "Setting up '[name of IP address]'" popup (shows it's running but never completes) unless I click the configure button and check the boxes.
After checking the boxes if I then go back to the Print & Scan Window, a printer appears with my IP address as its name. If I try to print, the Print Queue window comes up but the progress bar just runs endlessly and I get a message in Print Queue window, "Microsoft Word - Unable to verify your printer on your network." (The first part is because I tried to print a MSW document, but I've tried other software and it still fails to print.)
I've also tried this with different ethernet cables and with a direct ethernet connection vs. on a hub. The printer was working fine via ethernet connection on my old Macbook running 10.4, so I know this is some kind of software/configuration problem. This is an old printer so ethernet is the only option for connecting to the computer.
Any help would be much appreciated.

seems like it's all working now. i selected apple talk, and it found my laserwriter instantly.
forgot about apple talk!

I can't print using Bonjour on Windows Vista

Hi. I've connected an HP printer to my Airport Extreme. My great MacBook can print using the printer, but my other computer, running Windows Vista (**** IT!) can't do that. When i install bonjour, it recognizes the printer but can't print. Why? Oh, and after i have installed Bonjour, all the other programs run with problems... so i have to cancel Bonjour... why? Thank you

Can not Printing using Adobe Reader V9.0, OS is Windows Vista

Help Me Please! I can not print in Adobe Reader. This is what is happening: I select print, the status bar shows pages being sent to the printer, the printer Hicups, clicks, clangs, clunks, and Burps and nothing comes out; No error, No copy. I'm running V9.0 but the same thing happened in version 8. I thought it was something to do with the down-load. What gives?

Sorry for disappearing; gotta make a livin'
No, I haven't looked for an updated driver for my printer but I will give that a try. I was able to print using the "print as image" function but it really bogged my system down to pre-Pentium days. I'll let you know if the driver update works. Thanks for reaching out!

How can we print using the windows printer dialog window?

Hi,
We recently got new printers and a printer setup on our server that are set to print in greyscale as a default. In the past the printers defaulted to printing in color. When I create VI's and reports I have used to set "Print on completion" or the print option from the Report Generation Toolkit, and I have received my prints in color. After changing the printer drivers on the server any printing method I used to do from LabVIEW will always produce greyscale prints. These prints are fine for everyday use, however we need color prints when the documents are for customers or for other official use.
If I could only send documents/VI's to that process the user could override the "greyscale" setting and select "color" in the cases where we need a better looking print. Obviously the other option is to save the document/VI as a file and later print it from any windows software (Excel, Paint etc.).
Do anyone have any neat tricks for printing using the windows printer dialog?

You can change printer settings programmatically via a .NET assembly. You can also bring up the Print Dialog to change settings manually before printing.
More info on the .NET assembly for colour settings here:
