MBP won't print on RICOH Aficio 2022 connected on the network

I have a MBP 2.66 GHz with Mac OSx 10.6.5 installed. I can't get it to print on a RICOH 2022. the RICOH is connected to the office network and I used to just log on to the office wireless network and print from my PC earlier, however the MBP won't. The printer has a static IP. I downloaded the specific drivers from the support site already and the MBP autoselects the printer and assigns the requisite PS driver, however the printing doesnt happen. I'd appreciate a few pointers..

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
There are a few things to check.
1. The protocol used to connect to the printer. If you selected IPP then this can stop you from printing. If you were to check the Properties > Ports > Configure Ports settings on the Windows connection to the Ricoh you may see if using Port 9100. On Mac OS X this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket. So I suggest you open Print & Fax, select the Ricoh and open Options & Supplies. Under the General tab will be the printer queue. If it shows "ipp://IPaddress_ofRicoh" then you have used IPP to create the queue. Delete this queue and add it again, this time select Jetdirect for the IP protocol.
2. The PS driver. If the Ricoh only supports PCL and not Postscript then this can stop you from printing, although sometimes you usually get lots of garbled pages when you use a PS driver to a PCL only device. Anyway, check that the printer does have Postscript (PS) support. This can often be found by opening the internal web page of the copier (simply type its IP address into your web browser). Somewhere within the pages available will be what printer languages are supported.
Or you could just check what driver the Windows are using.
3. If the Ricoh does support PS then it may be using some form of accounting system. This can stop unwanted printing and copying unless a valid ID/password is entered. If you need to do this when copying then you probably need to also do this when printing. Again, checking the setup of the Windows driver should give some clues. If the accounting function is being used then there should be a menu within the driver to allow you to enter the appropriate ID/pwd.

  • Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

    My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

    Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
    iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
    As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
    Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.

  • Leopard & Ricoh Aficio 2022: lost printer options

    After upgrading to Leopard, I've been unable to correctly print on our Aficio 2022 PS printer. More precisely, I can print, but I've lost all the specific features of the printer: no stapling, no duplex printing, nothing.
    I did an archive & install, then installed the PPD I downloaded from the Ricoh web site (Leopard does not have built-in support for the 2022). The PPD files seem to be quite old, but they used to work perfectly under Tiger. Now, with Leopard, it's as if none of the printer options were available (and of course, I selected the right PPD file when configuring the printer under System Preferences, then chose the relevant printer options).
    Has anybody found similar problems? (either with Ricoh printers or others)
    Thanks in advance for any hints.
    David.

    I tried the same thing with my archive and install and tried just using the PPD but kept getting an error about not all components installed or something. So once I found the actual driver install disk and ran the installer, it sets up fine now - but I keep getting communication errors with the printer now and can't even print to it. Same with someone else in the office who also is now on leopard.
    Have a Ricoh Aficio 5560 or something and a Fiery E-7000

  • My Photosmart C410 won't automatically connect to the Network

    My Photosmart C410 won't automatically connect to the Network, I have to put in my password for the router every time I turn on the printer from the printer keyboard.  Is there anyway that the printer will automatically connect to my network?

    Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc). 
    When you turn off your printer, are you totally removing power from it (like shutting off a power strip)?

  • HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

    I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet.  I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
    The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
    The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
    When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address.  It is the only thing it discovers.
    I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network"  Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
    This just cycles with no progress.  I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV.  No change.
    I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer.  It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
    I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
    This question was solved.

    I am having a similar problem as well.  The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility.  However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized.  I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck.  As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
    To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues.  Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!

  • Printer not found but my 5510 is connected to the network

    Help, my 5510 B111a printer was working fine then suddenly it stopped finding my computer to scan to, and my printed couldn't find it to print to.
    I have recently changed my broadband to BT Infinitty 2, but it was working after I changed.
    I have restored the the printer to factory settings and reinstalled the new router and it is showing as being connected to the network and shows the IP address.
    I re-installed the driver on my laptop but when it tries to add it to  the network it comes up as 'printer not found'. I entered the IP adress it gave me when I connected it to the network but it still comes up as not found.
    Going a bit mad here now, can anyone help please?

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer not being found. 
    Try to disable the firewall and anti-virus. 
    Also, plug in a USB cable and see if it gets recognized. If so, then it is something on the network that is blocking the printer ports.

    When installing HP 3054 wireless printer continue to get a message saying my mac is not connected to the network, but it is....What do i try?

    looks like this is your network connection settings problem, you'd better only keep one network adaptor online and linked, if you do not understand how to setup windows routing, this is completely not firefox problem. buddy. wish you goodluck.

  • Printer can't connect to the network HP photosmart c309a

    I keep having connection issues with my printer.  I recently moved it from one room to another and it will not connect to the network.  When I do the network test, it doesn't find it and it doesn't find an IP address either.  Getting very frustrated.....

    Try to move the printer back into the previous room and re-connect.
    If it connects with no problem, your issue would be the distance between the router and the printer. 
    It should be presented in the same room. Before you try doing this, unplug your router for about 20 seconds and plug it back in, and try to connect.
    Let me know if this helps, thanks.

  • My printer is connected to the network and is accesable,​I can not setup webervices cant reach server

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a
    Windows 7
    Cannot connect to the server.
    Check the Internet connection and try again. Or contact your system administrator or the person who set up the printer.
    If your network requires a proxy server address to connect to Internet, click Enter Proxy or check your browser settings.
    The printer is connected to the network with proper DNS I am the adminastrator

    The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
    1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
    2. Unplug the power cord from the back of your router (and modem, if separate from the router).
    3. Wait 20 seconds, then plug the router (and modem, if applicable) back in.
    4. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the printer back in and power it on.
    5. Press the ePrint button on the printer's front panel, and it should try to connect to Web Services again.
    Those steps usually resolve the issue, but if it still occurs you can try setting static network info for the printer (which sometimes helps to stabilize the printer's ability to get outside of your network, to the internet):
    1.  Press the network icon at the top of the printer's screen and note the IP address.
    2.  Enter the IP address into the address bar of a web browser on a computer and press enter or click the browser's go button. 
    3.  The printer status page should be opened.  Click on Network at the top.
    4.  Select Proxy Settings.
    Note:  If you are prompted for a redirect, select OK.  If you receive a certificate warning, select the option that lets you continue anyway.
    If you receive a Internal System Error, refresh the page until it loads the proxy settings.
    5.  Verify that all fields are blank.  If they are not, clear them and make sure the Proxy Server requires authentication is unchecked and click apply.  You should get a success message.
    6.  Click on IPv4 under the correct connection (wired or wireless) on the left.
    Note:  If you only see IP Address Configuration and DNS Address Configuration with a yellow note, refresh the page until it loads completely.
    8.  Leave the IP Address Configuration as Automatic IP.
    9.  Change DNS Address Configuration to Manual DNS server.
    10.  Enter 8.8.8.8 for the Manual Preferred DNS Server and 8.8.4.4 for the Manual Alternate DNS Server.
    11.  Click Apply and you should get a success message.
    12.  Power off the printer for 30 seconds and then turn it back on to force the new settings to take effect.

  • 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.

  • New MBP won't print with Wifi HP All-in-one that it cam with from Apple

    Hey, all just got a new MBP and the free HP all in one wireless printer.
    After installing all the software and drivers I managed to bonjour it through our router or direct through USB.
    Same on my iMAc
    However, Wifi will hang for a few minutes , then start to print and then finish on the print queue but the page will be half printer etc.. With USB it prints straight away and complete pages.
    Is this a bug in the drivers or what?
    Thanks all,

    iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari all use the same protocol for wireless device finding for shared items as the printer. Bonjour may be holding things up, if other items are attempting to share data over the network.

  • My MBP won't detect a projector even when I reboot the system.

    I can connect to a monitor, so I know the adapter and cable are working, and my old HP will connect to the projector so I know it's not the projector, but my MBP will not even detect that a projector is connected..  I have tried multiple projectors as well.  I am using a VGA cable with the apple adapter.  I have read old threads, but there doesn't seem to be anything recent, and it seems like people were able to find the projector after restarting the system.  I have tried all of the various displays sizes and colors; I have tried connecting the cables in various orders as one person said this worked for them, I have tried turning off the computer first, then connecting everything, I have tried connecting everything then restarting, but my computer just won't detect the projector(s).  Any thoughts?

    You can ignore those instructions. Adobe has what I believe is an easier way to install Flash by using the manual installers. See the Adobe troubleshooting guide - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
