Setting up with Ricoh MP C5000 - Help!

Hi,
I am using a new macbook pro (10.7.3) at work and we use the ricoh mp c5000 at work.  I have tried so many different drivers but nothing seems to work.  When I try to print one page, about 20 get printed with all of this garbled text,=.
If someone could please walk me through what I need to do here, I would really appreciate it! So frustrating not being able to print at work!

You'll need to ask your IT department to procure a Postscript module for the printer. By default these printers only support PCL printing (which is what the Windows drivers use), and not Postscript (which is what the Mac driver supports). The module costs between $600-700, so if they aren't interested in getting that for you, you might want to look into installing pxlmono:

I didn't have a ton of luck getting that work consistently (some things printed strangely), but it might be better than not being able to print!

  • I have an old Airport Express that won't connect/set up with Yosemite. Any help appreciated

    Hi, as the title suggests I have an old Airport Express that I have always used wirelessly to connect to my hifi but now that I have upgraded to Yosemite it won't connect via Airport Utility  6.3.4 and Yosemite won't let me use Airport Utility 5.6  Seems I'm stuck between a rock and hard place! Ethernet is no use as the hifi is in another room. Yosemite is running on an iMac and is connected wirelessly to Virgin Broadband. Thanks, Alex.

    If the AirPort Express is very old, such as the original 802.11b/g - only models A1084 or A1088 you will need a commensurately older version of both AirPort Utility and OS X to configure it. Those models were discontinued about seven years ago and support for them is gone. Ethernet won't make a difference anyway.
    You may find instructions or links to web sites with instructions to modify OS X in an effort to circumvent that restriction. I cannot emphasize enough just how bad an idea that would be.

    Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
    "I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
    Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
    Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all.

  • The iPad doesn't seem to want to set up an email for a "group" in my contacts. On my iMac, when I type the name of a group, the email addresses of everyone in the group appear in the "To" line of a new message. Not so with the iPad. Help?

    Apparently Groups are not supported in the Mail App on the iPad. Read this thread and see Michael Morgan's post for a workaround.

    Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

    You must be using an update CD.  You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

  • 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...

  • My sister got ios8 and something got meesed up and apple reset her phone and my ipod is set up with that email so i lost everything please help ill share details

    my sister got ios8 and something got messed up and apple reset her iPhone and my ipod is set up with that email so I lost everything. details if u can help me thanks

    This issue has been resolved - my Support Advisor, Edgar, was able to discern what was causing the problem.
    It appears that, despite years of never experiencing this, one of the latest ipod updates actually altered my device's personal settings and changed it to "Manual" for all synchronizing; even performcing Factory Restores did not change it back to being automatic.
    My ipod is working as good as ever now thanks to Edgar. If anyone else is having this problem, please make sure you check your device's settings in iTunes and see if "Manual" is checked - even if you never changed the settings yourself and have no reason to suspect that to be the problem, as was the case here. If it is checked - uncheck it to enable automatic syncing.
    So relieved this was not a much more serious problem. I've missed having my music on the go. Thanks, Edgar!

  • Cant connect with a PC please help trying to do Christmas CHAT.

    Mac is set up with ISIGHT/ICHAT
    PC is set up with LOGICTECH Quickcam Fusion/AOL Instant messenger.
    So we can text message and we can even do an audio chat. But when it comes to Video it does not go through. When I(the mac) invite the PC, the PC sees the invitation and will accept. My window will even say that it has started the video chat but I cant see them, only myself.
    When they invite me I never get the invitation and they just sit on there side.
    They are in a hotel...could this be a factor with some firewall.
    Any ideas. Please help. We are trying to set this up to video chat with my father for Christmas. four days to go.
    thanks jack

    Hi bibbo,
    Ok Networking basics 101
    DHCP. Dynamic hosting by a networking device.
    This can be the ISP server, your modem or a router if you have one as well. As both Macs and PCs can "Share this internet Connection" then technically then can be (do this) as well.
    Lets presume that you have just a modem and your computer.
    Lets presume you Mac is in default settings where it expects to use - or have sent to it - an IP from a DHCP server.
    You can look this up on a Mac.
    Go to System Preferences > Network.
    In the second drop down select the connection method you are using to the modem (built in Ethernet or Airport for wireless).
    Then click on the TCP/IP tab.
    This should have a drop down that will confirm it is "Using DHCP"
    This will mean that it is.
    The type of IP shown under that will say if the modem is in bridge mode (by showing a Public IP) or a local private IP.
    How to tell ?
    Local devices start with certain numbers
    192.168.xxx.xxx
    10.xxx.xxx.xxx
    172.16.xxx.xxx - 172.32.xxx.xxx
    Further down the same info screen is the DNS server info if added
    And the "router" IP.
    This "Router" IP is the IP of the modem if it fits in to one of those three groups above.
    If it shows the same number at the top spot as when you go here then the device is in Bridge mode and it is allowing the ISP issued IP to come through to your computer.
    Tell us the info you see in this part of System preferences.
    <hr>
    Next.
    The "ROUTER" IP if in a Local number as shown above is likely to be the default for accessing it's set up pages in a web browser.
    A Linksys modem is likely to be 192.168.1.1
    A Netgear is likely to be 192.168.0.1
    This page is likely to be helpful if you device is listed.
    IF it is click on it.
    On the next page click on iChat.
    This will tell you the defaults (if they have not been changed) to use.
    It will go on to ell you how to set Port Forwarding.
    DO NOT DO THAT AT THIS STAGE.
    Tell us what you can find out.
    Is there anything in the Port Forward settings ?
    Does the device have UPnP in any of the menus ? and is it Enabled ?
    Does it have Port Triggering as an option and is anything set there ?
    <hr>
    Re 1)
    Back on the Mac go to System Preferences > Sharing
    In here you will find the Firewall tab.
    Click on It.
    Does it say it is on ?
    In the list are the Presets which may have ticks next to them (Even if the Firewall is Off) due to thinks set in the Services tab.
    There is no Preset for the iChat login port, the AV ports or the Jabber ports. (there is a hangover preset from panther for Bonjour but the ports are on the wrong protocol and it misses one)
    If the Firewall is On and you have not set the ports then you will need to.
    The Instructions are here at the second pic.
    Re NAT.
    NAT is Network Address Translation.
    It is the way your modem tells what data goes to which IP that is in use on the LAN it is controlling if it is the DHCP server. (it can also do it if you are Static i.e. No DHCP server and Manually given IPs).
    Some devices like an Apple Airport Base Station NAT all data and do not require you to point it anywhere.
    Most devices require that you point the data in some sort of way.
    Port Forwarding is the oldest and most common.
    This requires that you state which port the data should arrive on from the ISP side and which port is should go to on the LAN side listing an IP do go as well.
    Generally this means that a port (say 5190 for iChat) can only be open for one IP (hopefully your computer).
    Port Triggering also uses NAT.
    DMZ (Demiltarised Zone) is an extreme form of Port Forwading that opens all the ports to one IP address but still uses NAT.
    UPnP (Universal Plug and Play does not use NAT.
    Read the whole of my page 4 for more info and guides on where to look.

  • HT204053 I have another Apple ID from when I originally set up this iPod, now I can't reset it as I am also set up with Find My iPhone which may have been doen by mistake I have been in contact with Apple itself and they can't fix the problem so far

    i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not  let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.
