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.

Ricoh Aficio 1515MF

Hi,
i've just bought a Ricoh Aficio 1515 MF and it works perfectlly in the prtinting feature, i cant use it as a scanner, because it doesn't apear in the scanner list.
i'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
Best Regards

Hello,
I'm having a lot of problems setting up our Ricoh Aficio 1515MF printer up with our iMac (10.8.3). I had successfully set it up with our previous iMac (~July 2011) but I just can't seem to figure out how to do it again.
What driver did you use? It's not on the list of drivers that come with the computer and I've tried going to various sites to download the driver but the computer always says that the file is damaged.
Any advice would be appreciated because it's driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance!

RICOH Aficio 1515MF and Leopard

I have a RICOH Aficio 1515MF that refuses to play nicely with our two macbooks running Leopard. It mostly prints garbled whatnot and shoots out blank pages. Is there a workaround for the printer not supporting Postscript?

Strange they have postscript drivers on their website, yet they don't have postscript support. That sounds like the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. IPP support comes from Guten-print commands. When you add the printer from the Printer Setup utility hold the Option key. Then additional printers should appear in the bottom, and you can change the connection protocol. You may find a guide that helps on my FAQ*:

Ricoh Aficio 2018 printer not working with 10.9.1.

Hi All. Please help. I am unable to get Ricoh Aficio 2018 printer to work. I am running 10.9.1.
I have got it working once by downloading the foomatic, ghostscript and pxl drivers, but we moved and I had to dismantle everything and now it won't work. Last time we had a modem/router that the blue cable from the Ricoh was connected to, but this time we have a USB modem so the blue cable is connected straight into the iMac.
I have printed a config page from the Ricoh and see that DHCP is on, and it gives me the IP address, but when I go into system prefences in the iMac and try to add a printer with this IP address, it just doesn't work like last time. I choose LPD as the protocol and search for the Rich Aficio 2018PXL option for the use, but still not working.
any ideas would be massively appreciated.
thanks

I made those changes but strange thing is that the facsimile button lit up as red and I don't even use the fax function on this multifunction machine.
When this occurs with our Canon's it is due to the document feeder being unavailable for some reason, such as some other machine function is using the feeder. Other than that I'm not sure why this would occur.

I thought I would check with you about what I should set the 'delivery options' to. If you choose on then there are 2 tabs - server 1 which is current 10.0.0.2 and server 2 which is 0.0.0.0. should this be set to on?
Not really sure what this "delivery options" setting is for. Normally when I see that menu it is for what happens with the document after it is delivered.
That first server address sounds like a local router address. Maybe a left over from the previous network configuration? If I knew more about what this setting was meant to achieve then I may be able to answer better. I will see if I can find information from Ricoh.

Also I checked in the 'about outlook' and the incoming server was different to what I had emailed to you. so I changed it to what was in outlook. I hope that is right?
Yes. It would be the correct approach to use the same settings in the copier as you have set in a working email client.
Shrunken wrote:
Also, under scanner features/destination list settings there are two options:
- destination list priority where you can choose either email or delivery server. which should I choose here?
- update server destination list. when I choose this one, it tells me that it has failed.
I would think that you want email, as you are attempting to connect directly with the email server.
And I'm not sure what the update destination list is mean to do. You may have to contact Ricoh for help on this.
Just one more thing to note. Because you are connecting the Ricoh directly to the Mac via Ethernet cable, you will have to enable Internet Sharing on the Mac so the Ricoh can connect to the Internet and thus Bigpond. This setting is located in System Preferences > Sharing and you will need to set "Share your connection from:" to the USB modem and the "To computers using" to Ethernet.

EMac (PPC) with 10.4 and a Ricoh aficio C5000 printer

I am having problems with an eMac (PPC) with 10.4 and a Ricoh aficio C5000 printer connected to the network, does anyone have a solution? I can connect it the mac but it doesn't print exactly what I want.
1 page of what I want to print = ~24 what is actually printed
It doesn't work the connection through the appletalk protocol so I used the TCP/IP protocol.

Appletalk can only use one port at a time, check System Preferences>Network & see which Interface has it enabled.
Here in 10.4.11 it's enabled for Airport...

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.

How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White?

HI Guys can you help?
How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White? When I check print Grey Scale box it uses the other colours to create the black instead of using the black toner cartridge. doing this from a PC works fine but not of a Mac and I am a newbie at this can you help as I don't want to waste any more colour ink unnecessarily.

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

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.

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!

Slow print from Acrobat X Professional to RICOH Aficio 2018D RPCS printer

Hello.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Our network printer, RICOH Aficio 2018D RPCS, takes 20 seconds to print each sheet from a PDF document generated by Acrobat X.
It seems the printer considers each sheet as a new document so starts the whole process of warming and so on.
These PDF documents were previously created by Adobe Acrobat X Professional (version 10.0.1), from scanned documents by BROTHER MFC-9840CDW Printer (also network printer), with a laptop running under Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
(All legal software, licensed.)
The PDF documents have about 4MB & 140 pages each one.
We tried to fix the problem by changing all these parameters:
- saving file as "Reduced Size PDF",
- saving file as "Optimized PDF",
- saving file as "PDF/A",
- saving file as "PostScript",
- printing as image,
- printing in low quality,
- opening and printing the document from Adobe Reader X (version 10.0.1),
but nothing works.
(Adobe Reader was not installed when troubles started. It's uninstalled now and troubles keep going on.)
The RICOH Technician also tried some updates, but troubles are still there.
He printed a PDF downloaded from Internet (similar size as ours) and the printer worked at normal speed!
We also can print the documents at normal speed in the BROTHER MFC-9840CDW Printer.
I really appreciate any suggestion
(Message in progress. Adobe Reader it's not the problem either.)

Thank you so much, GilliganBT
... but... I can´t find that option ("Render print jobs on client computers") in my Sharing tabs.
I just have "Do not share this printer" or "Share this printer".
Anyway, I´ll tell that to the printer repairman and I´ll let you know

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.

Problems Printing Ricoh Aficio 1045 via IPP (Error with Exclamation Mark)

Two of our offices use Ricoh Aficio 1045 and I'm having difficulty printing to either printer via my MacBook (Op System: Mac OSX 10.4.10). I've tried using IPP and have downloaded the proper drivers, but when I press print, a printer icon appears on my Dock and sports a red exclamation mark! From there, it seems like my printer job has been stopped, so I click on Start printing, but nothing happens and it seems my print job isn't even spooled. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Here's the most likely problem - IPP (Internet Printing Protocol, NOT IP printing) and LPD both require that you enter both the IP address and the printer/server/device queue name. The queue name is a required part if the address to route data to print. It can usually be found in the manual and is sometimes called port name. The HP Jetdirect protocol is called TCP/IP raw or TCP/IP port 9100 printing in manuals and it doesn't use a queue name. "PORT1" and "print" seem to be common Ricoh queue names
The drivers you downloaded may be for postscript. If your printers don't have postscript, you should be able to use the HP Laserjet 6 Series Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.

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.

My Ricoh Aficio MP 2500 only prints postscript stuff when connected to my OS X Yosemite

My Ricoh Aficio MP 2500 only prints postscript stuff when connected to my OS X Yosemite. When printing one page of something, ten pages or so of machine language will print out. It is on my home network and the IP address is correct.
Thanks for any help.

This can also happen when you use a Postscript driver but the printer does not support Postscript. According to the Ricoh Australia web site the MP2500 supports PCL standard while Postscript is optional. So it would be safe to assume that you don't have the Postscript kit and that's why you are getting all those pages with Postscript commands.
One thing you can do is remove this printer from Printers & Scanners and add again, this time selecting the Generic PCL Laser printer in the Use menu. Note that this printer is set to 300dpi by default, but you can change the resolution to 600dpi via the printer menu so that you get better looking prints.
