Ricoh Mp 5001 How To Install These

And you need to install the Foomatic and Ghostscript packages with the pxlmono package in order for it to work.

After this I ran Software update and installed the latestt printer from the Apple store.

And now it got weird: the printer showed up, was connected and startet the jobs.

Looking in the job-list I saw these jobs with my user id shown as aborted.

Our network ist Exchange Server 2003-based, the Ricoh is directly connected to the network.

Prior to the MBP my machine was an quite antique windows machine connected to the same network.

At home I use a Brother network printer which works fine (and prints so far).

Any ideas what could be wrong Help would be very much appreciated.

Klick Print and sroll down the printer list in the print menu window.

I klicked on it - Max OSX configured the Printer, installed the driver and voil it worked On a Ricoh without Postscript Option I think the real problem was the original PS-driver from Ricoh.

If yes, then this would require you to print with an IDPIN, otherwise the job would be cancelled at the machine - which sounds like what you are saying.

Anybody in our network is allowed to print, scan and fax without prompted for UserID, password or pin.

Could this be associated with printer protocol Im not sure which one I chose during setup.

Does anybody know, which one ist recommended (by Apple or the manufachturer).

To see a printer in the Default view of the Add printer window, the printer has to support an advertising protocol like Bonjour.

So if you did add the printer this way, then the protocol is determined by settings in the printer.

If you wanted to add the printer manually, by selecting IP and then the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol, you can then enter the IP address of the Ricoh and the supporting driver in the Use menu.

Or, instead of selecting the Ricoh in the Use menu, you could select the Generic Postscript driver that is included with 10.9.

If this prints then you can remove this printer and add again, this time selecting the Ricoh driver.

Protol was LPD by default, other protocols did not work as well with the Ricoh PS driver.

The Problem seems to be that our Ricoh came without Postscript option.

If I use the Generic PCL driver that came with my Mac at least I can print.

Thats bad, because this is a colour printer and our default in the company ist bw-printing for holding printing costs low.

I found some hints on open printing at Linuxfoundation.org but have no inkling how to install these drivers or ppd packages.

As you have found, there is the pxlmono package from the Linux foundation that will let you print in colour.
