I can't print to my RICOH AFICIO SP C410DN

I've tried for a week now to figure out how to coneect my RICOH AFICIO SP C410DN to no avail. HELP?
My printer is connected via an ehternet cable from my modem to the ethernet port on my printer.
I go to Printers & Scanners and it will not find it.
When I press IP, I'm not sure where to find my printer IP address or host name. I've printed out my configuration page and the numbers on it don't seem to work.
Not sure whuch Protocol pick either.

My router ended in .0.1. I ended up assigning a new and dedicated IP address in the printer per your instructions. I set the ending to .0.166. Once I typed it in, the protocol self selected and the name of the printer popped up in "Use:" at the bottom.
I added it and test printed a screenshot. Whammo! It printed!!! Thanks so very much. This was such a head-ache trying to figure out! Even the printer company signed on to my mac two times and connected to the printer but when I got back home at the end of the day and wanted to print, it didn't work. I was beginning to lose heart. I'm so relieved now. This printer was a $1300 printer and work horse! I was beginning to think that I would have to get rid of it.
The first major thing that I had to figure out was this... I used to just plug the ethernet cable in the ehternet port on my computer. I was instructed I couldn't do that any more and had to use a port on the router.
Since swithcing to Mavericks, I've had some serious head-aches getting used to it and setting up all of my Apple products. (iMac, iPad, iPhones.) Having been on a mac for over 20 years, I usually wait quite a while before I upgrade OS's. Letting others work out the bugs. Never the less, much thanks Grant!

  • Photoshop printing presets for Ricoh Aficio 3260c

    I work in a small printing office -- we use all Macs and we do all of our design work with either Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, printing it all on a Ricoh Aficio 3260c. We're using only Pantone colors in the designs but I just feel that there's some setting that isn't completely right in our printing process/programs.
    I was wondering if in Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign I should alter any of the printing presets/profiles so that it's set up specifically for that printer, if that makes sense. I know that there is a "Pantone Driver" for our printer, but what advantage does that give us over the standard driver and could that pantone driver automatically contain the presets needed for printing pantone colors on our printer without altering the settings in Photoshop?
    I've tried contacting various support and Ricoh but can't get any real help/information on what we're trying to do as nothing is actually broken, thus they don't really care. I just feel that there needs to be some tweaking along the way...so if you can help, that would be great! Thanks.

    danny,
    If you are printing to a CMYK printer, why are you specifying Pantone-specific colors. First, a large number of those colors are outside the CMYK color gamut, so yes, you will get color surprises.
    That said, if Ricoh does have a Pantone driver, I would recommend acquiring it as it probably will give a better interpretation of Pantone colors for that specific printer, than more generic converting-on-the-fly routines would. (Otherwise, why would they have bothered to develop and market it?)
    Speak to a Ricoh tech rep and see what he/she says about this. If first-line support is clueless, work your way up to the Ricoh food chain until you reach someone in a supervisory capacity who can answer your question.

  • I can't print from my Ricoh Alficio MP C2050?

    I have tried everything and am really at my wits end here. I have installed every driver I can think of and reset the printers 500 times and I'm still getting this infuriating error code, along with 300 sheets of blank paper getting printed out
    %!PS-ADOBE-3.0
                     %APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8
                                            %APLPRODUCER: (Version 10.9.3 (Build 13D6
    If anyone has ANY idea how to fix this or at least get me printing in just black and white, it would be really helpful!!!

    What you are seeing is raw PostScript code.  It probably means that you do not have the optional PostScript module installed in the printer.  This model does come with PCL6 as a standard printer language.  You can use the pxlmono/pxlcolor drivers found at
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o
    Be sure to install all three packages -- Foomatic-RIP, Ghostscript, and the pxlmono-1.9 set of PPDs.

  • 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)

  • Problem printing to ricoh aficio 5502 OSx 10.10

    greetings, one of my co-workers is having an issue printing in the latest version of adobe acrobat reader,free version build number evades me but we downloaded it yesterday 3/12/15 so it's the most current. he can print most PDF files as long as they are able to be opened in the mac preview app but there are a few that simply cannot be opened with that app and must be opened with reader. any PDf file that he opens in adobe cannot be printed, even the ones that can be printed with the viewer app. the printer is a ricoh aficio 5502, his mac has all updates installed, the latest version of reader and the most current drivers for the printer. every other program is able to print to the printer fine as stated before any PDF that can be opened in preview app can be printed from that app perfectly.
    steps i've taken to resolve the issue are as follows
    i've deleted and reinstalled the reader app.
    i've removed and installed the latest printer driver for the mac
    i've installed all updates to the mac OS.
    i've checked other programs to make sure they all print and they do.
    i've sent the files he's printing to another machine (windows based, no other macs were available at the time to test it) and the file prints fine.
    any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    james

    when i open any pdf file in adobe and click print the file spools, i also shows up on the pending job list on the printer but the printer never actually prints anything. it's almost as if adobe is spooling out garbage and the printer receives it and just drops the data without even trying to print it. i'd fault the printer itself but i can print to it from any other program on this particular mac without any problems, it's only items printed in adobe reader that will not print and it's consistent with any pdf file that we try to print using that program on that mac.
    the only common denominator is the adobe reader software.

  • Ricoh Aficio MP C4501 with access codes for color printing

    Hi,
    I read the discuss called "Ricoh 3245C with access codes for color printing", and I have a similar problem with a Ricoh MPC4501 printer. The printer is connected to many Windows PCs and my brand new iMac. It requires just User Codes authenication. PostScript is not installed on the printer (could this be the problem?). I've tried all the suggestions brought up in the mentioned discussion but I still can't print. It seems like the printer is not connected to the Mac. Here are the answers to the questions asked in the previous discussion:
    Is PostScript module installed?
    No, I guess. PS is not one of the languages included on the Configuration Page.
    What languages does your printer understand?
    RPCS [3.10.14], PCL 5c [1.02] and PCL XL [1.02]
    What drivers are you using?
    I tried the one from the Ricoh site for OS10.8 (http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/ra/model/mpc41/mpc41en.htm) as well as the driver (three downloads) from Linux (http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o). Neither worked. It might be helpful to mention that the Linux driver enabled me to print to a Ricoh Aficio MP 4001 that doesn't require authentication.
    How are you entering your User Code?
    Depending on the application. For Adobe apps, which are my main concern, I would have to click on the Printer button in the Print dialog to open the system Printer dialog, then enter the user code there under Job Log. I had to use the script provided in the previous discussion (http://webpages.charter.net/mbroughtn/beta/RicohUserCodes.zip) to add my User Code.
    How are you connecting to the printer -- what protocol?
    I'm not sure. I didn't find any of the protocols cited in the previous discussion on the Configuaration Page. If it helps, I know that the printer has an IP address on the network. And as I mentioned, it's mainly connected to many Windows PCs.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Can't help with user codes, but I suggest you try IP HP jetdirect first whenever you add an enterprise net printer. You could always look on a windows computer for printer port configjration. There, you will find jetdirect called raw port 9100 protocol.

  • Barcode printing via sapscritp with ricoh aficio 2045e

    Hi All,
    I have to print the barcode number of delivery (eg 8000998833) via sapscrit. The printer is a Ricoh Aficio 2045th. I installed the device type ZA001016.PRI but can not print anything. I don't know where to put my head. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

    Leo,
    Seems like you don't know about the basics of barcode printing in SAPScript/Smartforms - you will need the help of abap and/or basis. I saw this response on another thread which may help you:
    In traditional barcode printing barcodes are generated in the printer and not in sap system.
    Hardware required - SIMM module.
    In new barcode technology ,which has been included in SAP Web pplication Server 6.40
    barcode printing does not required any special tecs since it is send to the printer as graphics.
    But you have to convert your script to smartform.
    If you are using a release after 4.6c you can use this technology by imporing the corresponding Support package .
    See Sap note 430887 in sap service market.
    The new bar code printing allows you to print using POST2.
    Yuo can create new barcode using transaction SE73.
    Also see the SAP Note-645158
    Not a solution but it might help you in your search - if I find a sloution I will post it here.

  • Ricoh Aficio 1515mf printer setup

    alright, i just got a new imac running lion 10.7.2 and im trying to setup a Ricoh Aficio 1515mf over a lan connection. i have the printer going through a an ethernet line, to a router, then going straight into the imac. i have tried instaling new drivers as well as GPL Ghostscript.mpkg, Foomatic-RIP.pkg, and pxlmono.pkg. I have set the printer up on LPD protocol (using the ip address that i got from the printer) and used "Ricoh Aficio 1515 PXL." the imac tries to set it up but says that the printer is either unresponsive, spooling, or unable to verify the pronter on your network. Please somebody help!!!!!

    A couple of things to check based on the messages you are getting.
    Check the IP address of the Mac and the Ricoh. Both devices need to be set to the same subnet. For example, with an IP address of 192.168.1.10 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the subnet is 192.168.1 while the network address is 10. So for this network, all devices need to have a subnet of 192.168.1 while each device would have a different network address.
    If the IP addresses are correctly set then check the configuration of the Ricoh to ensure the LPR service is enabled. Or as a test, you could create another print queue on the Mac, but this time selecting HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol. Note the no queue name is required, which could have also been the using with selecting LPD for the protocol.

  • Setting the User Code for RICOH Aficio MP C 4000

    Hi guys, initially I had trouble setting my office network printer. But the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2235451 helped a lot. Now I am still stuck as the office uses "user codes" for each of the staff but when I tried to set it up, i couldn't punch in any numbers as only 4 options were presented ie nos from 1001-1004.
    I might be wrong but it seems to me that the user codes could be hardcoded in a text file somewhere. Question is how do I do that?
    Thanks

    so ive read and done everything on this feed. i also noticed that this question was marked at answered but it doesnt seem like the answer should be to hook into another printer.
    im trying to print to my office printer, Ricoh aficio mp c5000, and im so close i can taste it but i must be missing something.
    ive called applecare, ricoh, downloaded wayyy too many drivers, done everything in this feed and still nothing... well not exactly.
    when i hit print the printer wakes up and makes noise but it doesnt pickup any paper or actually print. i can hear things startup and start spinning but nothing prints.
    i know that for all the pc's that work on this printer, have to print in black and white or otherwise enter a Valid Access for color. I dont even see the option of valid access in the print settings.
    also
    i saw an option of finisher, option tray, upper internal tray, and internal shift tray. would those settings play a part as to why im not printing (using the Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 PXL driver)
    Please help

  • Safari 5.1.7, OSX 10.7.4, can't print from Safari but can from other apps

    I recently upgraded the Safari program as well as the recent OSX update.
    I also upgraded Adobe reader from 8.0 to Adobe Reader X and removed Reader 8 by dragging it to the trash.
    Now the Safari print dialog displays "No Printer Selected" and will not allow a printer to be selected. I do get a PDE error that says that the AdobePDFPDE800 bundle isn't working. But I've no clue how to access and delete it.
    The printer is a Ricoh Aficio CL4000DN. PPD's have been reinstalled today.
    The is NO PROBLEM printing from any other application. All Apple aplications other than Safari print as well as applications from other companies.
    any ideas?

    Unless you really need Reader, I suggest you uninstall it according to Adobe's instructions. It's dreadful. If you do need it, ask for help in the Adobe user forums.

  • Can't print via network to Ricoh Aficio MP 171

    Hi, I have a MackBook Pro with OS X 10.9.2 and I'm trying to print on a corporate printer/copier Ricoh Aficio MP 171 through the network, without success so far.
    Actually any Mac on my work are not able to print on any of the three Ricoh MP 171 we have here.
    Btw, I had this issue on OS 10.9.1, but upgrading to 10.9.2 did not fix it.
    The printers doesn't have the PostScript option installed, so I installed the packages below to use CUPS:
    - pxlmono 1.9
    - Foomatic-RIP 4.0.6 
    - Ghostscript 8.71
    - CUPS 1.7.1 (with 10.9.2 upgrade)
    The printer supports almost all forms of connections: Bonjour, IPP, HTTP, Socket, LPD, etc.
    Depeding the connection method I try to use, the behaviour is different, but in common with all ways is the following errors on system log:
    05/05/14 10:37:53,468 cups-exec[1038]: sandbox cache error 3850
    05/05/14 10:37:53,619 cups-exec[1039]: sandbox cache error 11: database disk image is malformed
    05/05/14 09:27:37,671 cups-exec[2747]: sandbox cache error 1: no such table: main.imports
    Those errors doesn't appear every time I try to print, usually they appear not in this order on the fisrt time I send something to print after reboot.
    The "no such table" error sometime appears with a different table, like "profiles" and others I didn't catch.
    The error below is logged every time I print:
    05/05/14 17:14:45,441 aficiomp171_CUPS_SOCKET_PMO[3120]: The function `CGContextErase' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.
    I have to add the printer through CUPS, as this is the only way to select the properly PPD file for the MP 171 (from the Foomatic driver package).
    I need to use a PPD file so I can set a custom User Code. If I add the printer through the System Preferences, I can't type a User Code.
    The error below appears on cups error_log according the connection method:
    HTTP: job remains in the queue, error "Unable to get printer status" in log and Printer Spool dialog.
    Socket and LPD: job disappears from the queue, no error is logged but nothing is printed.

    Continuing...
    Winddows (smb) and IPP: job is paused and remains on the queue, error "The printer configuration is incorrect or the printer no longer exists" is logged on cups error_log.
    What I have already tried, without success:
    - reseting print system, several times, no change.
    - upgrading to OS X 10.9.2 (as said before) didn't help.
    - update CUPS to 1.7.2 by compiling and installing from the source code: that messed up everything else, as it installs libcups.2.dylib 64 bit only, which causes every other 32 bit app, like Chrome and MS Office to crash on start up... reinstalling the 10.9.2 update fixed this issue.
    If a try to print using the PPD from Ricoh site, the job is sent without errors, but on the job history on printer web page (Ricoh WIM) is logged as "Acess Restritcted" status.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can't print or properly install drivers for Ricoh Aficio MP C6000

    Hi all,
    I work in a Windows environment and I'm trying to get my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.4) connected to the color copier/printer here. The model is a Ricoh Aficio MP C6000. I was able to download the PS drivers off the Ricoh website but when I install them and try to print, I get this message in the print queue:
    "The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance."
    Any idea what's going wrong? The image of the printer doesn't match the actual printer which usually throws me off and indicates it's the wrong model installed. As an aside, I am able to print with this printer just fine through Parallells via Windows XP. Has anyone got this model working, and if so, specifically what drivers did you use? I'm at a loss here.
    Thanks!

    I am not able to find the OS X 10.6 drivers on the Ricoh web site. You most likely installed the drivers for a previous version of OS X that will not function properly in OSS X 10.6.
    I would suggest that you delete your printer. Then delete the following items that you most likely have installed:
    /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/ricohJobLogC.plugin
    /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources RICOH Aficio MP C6000
    /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources RICOH Aficio MP C7500
    /Library/Printers/RICOH (the entire folder)
    The next thing you should do is to determine what printer languages your Ricoh supports. Your IT person should be able to tell you. Alternatively, you can have the printer print out a configuration sheet from the printer control panel.
    If the printer does have a PostScript module installed, then download the OS X 10.6 Ricoh drivers from _http://support.apple.com/kb/DL902_.
    If the printer does not have the PostScript module installed, it should be able to use a PCL 6/PCL PXL driver. In this case, use the Mac OS X packages for the pxlmono driver. These can be found at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o_. Be sure you also install Foomatic-RIP and Ghostscript.

  • Can't print from mac book pro to Ricoh Aficio MP C4500

    Hello, today i started working in a new office, that uses a Ricoh Aficio MP C4500 printer and everyone in the office uses windows computers. I have a Mac Book Pro 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, on it, I am running Mac OSX 10.6.6.
    When I have tried to print several different file types such as .pdf, .doc, .txt, etc. the printer prints out usually 20 pages that are all coded or blank and nothing similar to what i printed out. I'm guessing this is due to the printer not understanding the language of the data i send to it.I know that i am successfully connecting to the right printer.
    I've visited several webpages that discuss how to fix the issue but none of them have worked.
    I have tried downloading the mac osx 10.5 drivers from the Ricoh website(they didnt have 10.6) that didn't work and when i printed i still got all blank/coded pages.
    Next I went I tried typing the the printer IP address to my browser url... that didn't help.
    Next I went to the apple website and downloaded all of their mac osx 10.6 ricoh aficio drivers and when i printed i got all blank/coded pages again.
    next i went and downloaded the "ghost script" "footmatic" and "pxlmono" and when i printed i got all blank/coded pages again.
    all of the other webpages gave no other advice. Also, when printing each time i tried all of the different protocols, that didnt make a difference.
    if you can advise, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    The drivers that are available from the Ricoh web site or are available from Apple only work when the PostScript module is installed.

    After you downloaded and installed the Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP, and pxlmono drivers, did you delete your existing Ricoh print queues and create new print queues? Did you choose the driver that had pxlcolor in the title?
    If the pxlmono/pxlcolor drivers do not work properly for you, you will need to have the IT person tell you what printer languages the printer can use. Alternatively, you can print a configuration page from the printer keypad that will print a sheet telling you what languages it can use.
