Problems Printing to Ricoh Copier...

Hi,
We recently ordered a new Ricoh 3260c Copier and Just found out that I cannot duplex. I am able to duplex in TextEdit, preview, Safari, etc. I was able to replicate on two other macs. I reinstalled iWork on one of the machines just to check.
I have downloaded and installed 3 different versions of the printer drivers (The last three versions available). I did notice that duplexing did work with a driver from 2006... but with that driver, folding doesn't work (It is a Tiger driver).
I currently have three different queues set up with a different driver for each.
All three machines are running 10.5.2, and the latest versions of all the iWork apps.
I have not tested duplexing in Numbers or Keynote.
Any ideas?
thanks,
-Me
PS.
Just incase this is a driver issue I am also contacting Ricoh.

Thanks for the reply,
Well, I went through the tech support for the company from which we lease our copier and they couldn't help us. I also contacted Ricoh directly, and they were unable to solve it with the PPD. Here is some more information. The print logs (cups debug) shows no errors at all. In fact, it doesn't even show that duplexing is sent to the copier when using iWork apps, even though it is visually checked. While on the phone with Ricoh, I reinstalled the drivers, We looked through the PPD itself, Moved the PPD to various locations, also renamed it a few times, changed to Apple Talk, then over to LPD, which I am now set up on. We looked through the logs, and it was determined that it must be the app in how it interacts with the print menu in some way.
I am able to duplex in everything I have installed but iWork apps.
thanks again,

Unable to find appropriate driver for my mcbook air using a ricoh aficio mp36501SP network printer. had similar problem with another ricoh copier/printer, but was able to resolve that problem entering ip address. this one wants job code

unable to find appropriate driver for my mcbook air using a ricoh aficio mp36501SP network printer. had similar problem with another ricoh copier/printer, but was able to resolve that problem entering ip address. this one wants job code. i don't believe mac allows for input on job code or printer code for permission to print

I'm having similar problems with an HP OfficeJet 6500. One suggestion that improved the situation, but did not totally solve the problem, was to select "OfficeJet Pro L7700" for its drivers.
One other suggestion is to turn off the printer, then simultaneously hold down the "#" and "9" keys and turn the printer back on. This hot key seems to reset the printer to factory defaults, allowing you to set things up anew.
Finally, kvetch to HP. Their networking software clearly has problems in its relationship to OSX, but nobody on either side seems motivated to bring in a good therapist.

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.

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.

Can't print to Xerox copier, OK from other computers

I have recently set up our iMac next to our Xerox copier. I have dowloaded and installed the printer driver (and restarted), made whatever configurations to it were necessary, but I cannot print from any application, with one exception: i can print from the Xerox Command Workstation (test pages) -- although this does not actually use a print dialog (it proves only one thing, that the computer can communicate over the network to the copier).
The Mac network and internet connection on the iMac are working fine. Appletalk is on. Other Macs have had no problem printing to the copier.
Any thoughts?

I want to emphasize that everything else is working on the network: internet, other Macs and PCs on the network (I can talk to them, they can talk to me), the fiery server software (connects from this iMac to the fiery server no prob.).
However, whenever I print from any application, it never prints but continually says: "printer busy; will retry in 10 seconds"

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,

HP Photosmart all in one C309a printing multiple copies when its set to print only one copy.

having issues with my C309a its now printing multiple copys when its set to print only one copy.it started doing this 4 days ago and its happening on both my Windows 7 64 bit computer and my Vista 32 computer that both have the latest release drivers already installed need help.HP please sort this issue out.still under warranty do i have to return it?

I am using a Motorola SBG900 Wirless Surfboard Gateway - supplied with Bigpond Cable. It is set to be using WPA security and have never had a problem with it before whilst connecting any wireless devices such as a laptop, PDA etc.
My feeling is that the wireless functionality of this printer needs some serious work before the next release. And furthermore they should never have released it the way it is as it wouldn't pass 5% of user acceptance tests if using wireless. There are too many complaints on this forum and others about similar problems to suggest that I am not by myself here. Dissapointing considering this is the feature that would be at the top of the list of most purchasing this model. It lets down what could of been a vg printer.
I agree, I think if I want to get this printer working on a wirless network, I will have to set the IP address manually. The problem is the printer refuses to connect to the router now even after it connected a few days ago with no intervention. I have powered down both the router, PC, and printer without any luck yet. I will set the IP address manually first on the printer and see how it goes, then if it connects will see if the PC/router can see the printer during the SW install procedure which has failed >10 times to date.
For now I think I will stick with Ethernet as it is no doubt much faster anyway and will try the wirless setup again in a few days when my patience grows back. Does anyone know differences in speed between USB/Wireless/Ethernet? I know this is dependant on a number of things but just interested in ball park figures here.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a: Scan & Copy in color results in full cyan page

Product Name: HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit
I noticed the problem: After I scanned a medical card that was 80% cyan.
Problem: The problem persists when scanning/copying using the ADF or using the scanner glass bed.
Only occurs during color scanning or copying. I can print a file from my laptop or home pc with no issues, as long as the color file did NOT come from my printer.
If I had scanned the small O'Riley's note in black & white there would have been no streaking.
I have reset, used the HPP Dr., cleaned the glass, etc, & followed Solutions 1 - 3 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02881567&lc=en&product=4323659&tmp...
I sincerely appreciate your assistance.

Hi @Veritasabt,
I see that you are having issues scanning and copying in color from the glass and the ADF. Thank you for providing the screen shot. I can help you out today.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Update the printer's firmware. HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware.
Try scanning again to see if you have the same results.
Please check your private messages for additional steps to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
Have a nice weekend!
Thank You.

Quality problem printing in Windows 8.1 with CP1215

Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I have had my printer for years, CP1215, via USB, without having any problems printing to it with Windows 7 Pro. I first noticed that the quality of print I receive out of my printer on the new laptop is darker. The darkness comes from black lines going diagonally across the page. I would estimate at approximately a 2 degree angle. I would also estimate that the lines appear every 4th pixel row. I have attached 2 images, printed on 2 different printers. The one on the top is the one off of my CP1215, the one on the bottom is a color copier in my office. I have zoomed in incredibly on the prints to show the lines. Just never had problems with this printer in pre Windows 8.1 days. Tried installing ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win64-en. Tried uninstalling printer, rebooting, then installing, still same problem. I also have another problem with printing, but suspect it is more of a Microsoft problem. My laptop thinks a network printer goes offline, stopping and restarting the print spooler service seems to fix that. I had to make a .bat file on my desktop to do it, it happens at least 2 times in an 8 hr work day.

Hi paulie99, Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I understand the printer isn't printing properly from Windows 8.I will be happy to help you. Check your printer driver settings. 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences.3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.4. In the Type is or Size is list box, select the correct media type or size. Set the quality to ImageREt 2400. I have provided a document to install the Windows print driver to see if that makes a difference.Installing the Printer Software in Windows 8.1 for a USB or Network Connection. For the network printer I would setup a static IP address. Please let me know the results if you are still having issues. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.Have a great weekend!

Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
Anything else I could try before paying?

[email address deleted by host]

I have same problem as described above, but not always. Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America. Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish. i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.
. Various computers,
. same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
. Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
. Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

How do I print a hard copy of my previous purchases?

How do I print a hard copy of my previous purchases in iTunes? In the "Purchase HIstory" view, under Store | View My Account, the print command under File | Print is greyed out and attempts to highlight and copy the page to the clipboard also fail.

Thanks much for the suggestions. But they simply point out the stupidity (or worse) of the iTune software engineers. My problem started with a hard drive crash -- fortunately I had a backup of my data files and the iTunes Library. But all my e-mails were lost, including the receipt e-mails for prior purchases. That's why I wanted a hard copy of my account purchases. While virtually every other web page on the Net allows one to print that page, it makes absolutely no sense to me that Apple purposely prevents the print function on the "Purchase History" page of my account in the iStore. And yes I can download and install a screen grabber utility (I'm a Windows user), but the question is ... Why the **** should I have to ???
Nevertheless, thanks again and I hope that if anyone at Apple CAN read, and takes the time to monitor this forum, that they will correct this problem.

Problem Printing Front Panel

I'm having a problem printing the front panel of a particular VI. When I set the print option to Standard Printing the printer prints nothing. When set to Bitmap Printing it works, but it's not the type of printout that I want. In both cases the Print Preview appears the same. Also, all my other VI's print in Standard Printing mode with no problems.
I've read other posts indicating that the cause may be that the VI is sending a print code to the printer telling it not to print. How can I determine if this is the case? If it is the case, how do I fix it? This VI's front panel has nothing special about it relative to other VI's that print correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it happens using the menu, then it's not that your code sends a "do not print" action to the printer.
Try copying front panel items, one or two at a time, from your wonky VI to a new VI, and print the new VI after every move.
Maybe you can find one item that causes it.
If you're on a Mac, print it to a PDF file, and see if that's OK. If you're on Windows, you can use Print2PDF or something similar to act like a printer and show you what the printout would be.

Problem printing documents four up in lanscape?

I have a problem printing documetnts 4 up in landscape.
The first page will print 4 cells to the first page in portrait mode, even though I have selected landscape, the rest of the document will print 4 up in landscape.
When I have to produce more than 1 copy, all cpoies will have the same fault. To get around this I have to print 1 copy, which will have the error then, without leaving the print setup screen, print the other copies which will be fine, i.e 4 up in landscape on all pages including the first page.

what are you trying to print using which printer and from which application.

Printing at Ricoh C3501 with user code

My MBP running below printer drivers for printing to Ricoh C3501 with user code.
foomatic-rip-4.0.6.230.dmg
gplgs-8.71.dmg
pxlmono-1.9.dmg
RicohUserCodes.command
As Matt Broughton recommanded before upgrade. The printing worked fine.
After upgrade to Yosemite, my MBP can no longer print on Ricoh c3501. Checking the printing queue, the print job is gone, but, actually, the doc is not printed.
This was happen if I select color print but using grayscale user code, but this time I select grayscale printing and using grayscale user code and still could not print as my MBP did before iOS upgrade.
After checking my colleagues, all the Mac in my company upgrading to Yosemite have the same printing problem.
Please help out what else I can do to fix the issue.
Thank you.

Problem printing on fiery j1

Hi
I'm having problem printing on a canon color copier ir c3080i equipped with a fiery rip J1 postcript version 1.1
I recently reformatted my hard disk and re-install 10.5
Now when I print, when the job is sent to the rip, the settings showing in the rip are not the same that I choose when sending the job. Example: Sending with separation mode on, the setting received in the rip is composite, not separated. Or sending in black and white and teh job is printed in color.
Also, when leaving the printer window, I have to wait maybe 30 seconds before the cursor is back, waiting for the color wheel to stop rolling...
I try to flush printing preferences, re-install printer driver. Nothing change...
Another G4 running 10.3 on our network is printing without problem to the same printer.
Any idea where is the problem?
Thank you

Did you download the driver from the J1 homepage? It is important that the driver matches the system firmware installed in the RIP and the easiest way to ensure you get the correct version is to open the Download page from the J1 homepage (simply type the J1 IP address into your browser) and select the Mac OS X driver.
As for the delay, what connection method did you use to add the printer? I have always configured the Mac's to connect via IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket for the newer models of Fiery RIPs.
