Konica Minolta 2430DL printer

I want to be able to have the option to set monochrome for this color laser printer. Is it possible to do this from my Mac G4, and then set it back to color, depending on what document I want to print (regardless of whether the original document is in color or not)?

If I understand correctly, you want to print in Grayscale by default and only enable the color mode when you want. This can be done by using the web interface to the printing system at <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers>. You will find your printer in the listing of printers. Click on the Configure Printer button. You will need to enter your administrator's user name and password. The page you will be presented with shows the defaults for many settings. You can make the necessary adjustments and click Continue. This will set your new defaults.
Once you set the default output for Grayscale, you can always use the Printer Features under Copies and Pages in a print window to select the color mode as the need arises.
Another option would be to create another printer queue with a different name such as Minolta 2430 Color. You can again use the web interface to make the default settings you want for that printer queue. Using two different printer queues may make it easier to select between Grayscale and Color modes. You won't have to use the Copies and Pages pop-up menu to get to Printer Features etc.

  • AUR package for konica minolta laser printer (CUPS)

    Hi there,
    currently I'm writing a AUR package for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 Desklaser.
    I have a question to put the ICC profiles files and special KM files to the cups tree.
    The Konica Minolta makefile put the binary "rstertokm5430" to the directory "/usr/lib/cups/filter/" which is completely correct but the *.ppd file and *.icm files are going by default to /usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc5430DL/Profiles (icm files) and to
    /usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/km5430dl.ppd.gz (ppd file)
    The directory in my running archlinux is
    usrsharecupsmodel*.ppd and
    usrsharecupsprofiles*.icm
    Additionally there are "Halftones" files (*.bmp)
    usrshareKONICA_MINOLTAmc5430DLHalftones*.bmp
    I think about to put the Konica Minolta files in to this (new) directory tree:
    usrsharecupskm5430dlmodel*.ppd
    usrsharecupskm5430dlprofiles*.icm
    usrsharecupskm5430dlhalftones*.bmp
    How do I have to copy these files to be archlinux compliant ?
    best regards,
    Frank

    frigg, my apologies for overlooking an important point in my last post. The three magicolor drivers have different version numbers, unlike the other examples of multiple printer drivers in one PKGBUILD. This means you will need one PKGBUILD for each driver, in order to have the correct Arch version number. There is still value in doing them together, since they have many common elements.
    As a consequence of this change, I think it might be best to put the single PPD file in /usr/share/cups/model/, rather than have a directory with one ppd file in it.  It appears that the KM_PPDDIR variable in the configure script controls this location, so I have added a sed command to the build script accordingly.
    As another consequence, the package names need to be changed. I would suggest cups-mc2430dl, etc. This uses the short internal names used by the drivers, and Arch package names are supposed to be lower-case. This means that your awk script no longer works for all three drivers. Rather than write three different awk scripts, I have ported your directory change to a sed command.  When you package a stand-alone script with the PKGBUILD, you have to also maintain its md5sum, so it is simpler to do everything inside the build script if you can.
    Following are the three incomplete PKGBUILD scripts incorporating these changes. They are complete enough that when you run makepkg, they will  download the tarball (if it isn't already present), check its md5sum, copy it into the src directory, uncompress it, and modify the configure script. One way for you to proceed from here is to add lines to the build script, run makepkg, check that the right things happen in the src directory, and then that the correct things are put into the correct place in the pkg directory. The next line in the build script runs configure, which won't finish on my system due to the lack of libjbig.

  • Konica-Minolta Bizhub printing

    The company where I work recently (June this year) changed its printing system to one that they call ‘follow-me’ using an institution wide network of Konica-Minolta Bizhub printers (421 & C280). This allows employees to log on to and print from any printer rather than sending a print file to a specific one.
    This was set up on OS 10.6 via ‘Windows’ (smb://…). This initially asks for the username and password, which is then stored in the keychain and subsequently accessed automatically).
    The problem is that updating from Snow Leopard to Lion breaks the printing. Under 10.7, the ‘Windows’ (smb://…) option in the ‘Advanced’ pane of the ‘Add Printer’ dialogue has been replaced by ‘Windows printer via spoolss’ (which also leads to smb://…). Konica-Minolta have just (Oct 13) released updated drivers that claim 10.7 compatibility, but I still cannot get it to work. I assume that the old choice ‘Windows’ and the new one ‘Windows printer via spoolss’ are not the same thing, but I don’t know enough about it.
    Does anyone work in an institution/company that has adopted this printing system? If you use it with Lion, how is it set up? Or can anyone advise me on how I might change my setup to make it work?
    My institution are happy to advise employees to ‘stick with Snow Leopard’ presumably on the basis that ‘if it ain’t broke, leave us sleep’.
    Thanks
    Alasdair

    I have found a solution to this in another thread. Setting up the printer via CUPS  (Safari -> localhost:631) rather than through 'Print & Fax' in the System Preferences worked. I have no idea why, but it did.You can find the thread that helped here: Print to Windows Print server

  • Konica Minolta 2450 Printing Issues

    I recently installed an AirPort Extreme base station, to which I connected my Minolta 2450 color laser printer to via USB. Prior to this, the printer had been on Ethernet on the same subnet as all the other computers.
    When I set it up, the printer was recognized by my 20" Intel iMac and my Windows XP machine (using the Bonjour Printer Wizard.) I was able to print with no problem. Or so I thought. . .
    The next day I could not print from either machine. I went through the troubleshooting procedure on Apple's support Web site, and the printer once again worked.
    The next day, nada.
    It appears that if the printer is shut down, the connection with the AE is lost, and is not re-established when the printer is turned back on. If the AE is restarted, the printer works. Throughout all of this it shows up in the printer list on the AE utility as well as on both machines, despite it not printing.
    I am at a loss on this one. I don't have a port to put the printer back on ethernet, although it looks like I might not have a choice if I want it to be reliable. I woner if there is a configuration issue I need to address on the printer as far as the ethernet settings, as I understand Bonjour uses TCP/IP in some way.
    Help?

  • I'm having problems printing on a Konica Minolta C224 printer

    Sometimes when I send CAD files to the BizHub C224 printer the image prints very small almost postage stamp size.  It does not happen all of the time.  Some days I can restart my computer and it seems to work for a while.

  • Konica Minolta printer driver on Lion

    I have Konica Minolta laser printer 2530DL and tried to install SL drivers - they ineed do install, but after sending some documents to print, nothing happens.
    Does anyone have any idea about possible update or any other possible solution?
    Tnx.

    Try this:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
    Hold down the Option key while clicking the "-" (Remove printer) button. If no printers are currently added, hold down the Control key while clicking in the box that appears above the "+" (Add printer) button, then choose Reset printing system… from the contextual menu.

  • Konica Minolta Copier 7255

    I have a copier that is hooked into our local network that we can print too. It worked great with OX 4.x but now it is not working. I have it all setup and it sends the job to the cue but just cycles and never prints it out. Does anyone have any thoughts.
    Thanks,

    Hello Travis--
    Could you please send me your email. I am installing our new Intel IMac at our church that is connected via network to our Konica Minolta 7165 printer/copier. It worked fine with our G4 Mac running OSX 10.3 but doesn't work now with Intel Mac running 10.5. Get a "Unable to get printer status (forbidden)" message when I try to print. The Konica network hardware is the Postscript IP-511 controller. The Konica driver is: V22.1.0.gz.
    Im interested in what you hear from Konica-- I am trying the to work with our local support people who rep Konica in Manasses VA (TML) who say that Konica is testing the driver with Leopard and will get back to me. (Noon-12/10/07)

  • Printing problem with Konica Minolta BizHub282 using RDP on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello,
    I have an office setup as follows:  Local office IP adress scheme 192.168.201.x.  There is a Konica Minolta BizHub 282 printer connected to the 192.168.201.x network as well as around 10 workstations running Windows 7.  There are also about
    10 additional teleworkers WHO DO NOT NEED print access to the Minolta 282.  All of their data is on a cloud server.  I have them setup to first connect to the cloud server using a RRAS PPTP VPN and then to start an RDP session to the separate
    RDP server.  The Konica Minolta works ??okay?? with the easy print services and until now, we have just dealt with the lack of features and the occasional print job that goes crazy and prints out 400 blank pages (btw, this is usually on Excel) or a job
    that cuts off the margins even when you have it set to "fit to page" (this usually happens in Adobe.)  When I originally set this up, I tried loading the native Konica drivers on the server, but there was no joy because I couldn't get it to
    work using the native drivers.  The problem at hand is a feature called "account track."  This feature authenticates your print job by using an account code.  If there is no code, the job just disappears.  When I load the native
    Konica driver, the ability to turn on this feature is greyed out (see below):
    When I use easy print, the codes seem to go through, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the print job just goes insane.  After researching this, it seems to me that there are two ways to overcome this if we can't turn off the account track feature:
    1) Overcome the driver problem. I've tried both of their current drivers without success: VXL and Visual Postscript. When I login to RDP, the (redirected) Konica 282 printer is listed, but when I try to print, it fails due to the missing account track code.
    I'm hoping that there is a registry hack to turn this feature on by default with the code or a driver version that works with RDP. They have a WHQL driver available, but it didn't work any better. Is there a way to report this issue to the WHQL labs? Maybe
    I can light a fire under Konica's rear end and motivate them to fix the driver.
    2) I saw one discussion where the guy installed the printer out in the clouds as a local printer. He seemed to have a site-to-site VPN, not a client-to-site VPN, so this worked.  Is there a way to do something similar when the customer connects to the
    VPN through standard "connect to workplace" setup?  I tried pinging the Konica 282 from the server while logged into the VPN, but the printer could not be found.  
    3) I considered setting it up as a google cloud print prnter, but that would require everyone to setup a google account and add a layer of complexity. 
    Anyone else run into this and have a solution?  If not, does anyone have any ideas on a solution or workaround?
    Thanks,
    Jeffery Smith

    Hi Jeffery,
    Thank you for your comment.
    Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
    above and RDSH role.
    Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
    Do not allow client print redirection: Disable 
    Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable 
    Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
    For more information, you can refer below articles.

  • How do I set up a booklet to print with my Konica Minolta?

    how do I set up a booklet to print with my Konica Minolta?

    Is it a BizHub? If so, use the booklet printing from the Koncia driver.
    If it's like the one I have, click the Printer button at the bottom of InDesign's print dialog, then choose Layout/Finish from the drop down menu, and booklet from there.
    One thing to note: with this method, leave your paper size the same as one page of your document.

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.
