Is there a PPD driver (non-postscript) available for Mac OS 10.5 that will allow use of LAN-Fax capabilities of the Ricoh Aficio MP C3500

Murray,

there is no released Lan-Fax driver product per se....

We have built custom products before, please work with your local Ricoh Office to request such a solution.

it has worked quite well on OSX 10.4....

Hello i´m from spain and have the same problem.
I have in my company a MPC 3000 and don´t have the lan Fax Driver for my Imac with
last OS leopard 10.5.

Anyone have the driver or a solution?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Ruben,

please contact your local office in Spain and request a LanFAx driver for Mac OSX.

We (here in the US) have made LanFax drivers for Linux and Mac OSX before. Your local office should be able to request a "customization".


They do exist! Ask for them!

regards

Uli

Good morning Uli,

This morning was here a techinical from gestetner and he don´t know something about the driver.

He told me that they don´t have it.

Can you send me the driver by email please?

Best regards.

Rubén

Ruben,

these drivers are developed as customizations for a particular customer, a particular device, etc.

Insist that your local office escalate your request to engineering. They DO exist!

no i can not simply email the drivers to you.

This might very well be educational for your local technician, Ricoh is a very large global company, sometimes it takes a while for information to reach everybody.... :)

regards

Uli

As Uli Stated these are usually handled by the local sales company. This is because they will have to support any issues, but we certainly don't want to cause any frustration to our customers :) anyway Uli has urged me to move forward... so here we are.

I have a LanFax Driver built that will run on MAC and Linux. There are some technical (and legal) challenges still, but we are confident we can make it work fine. Anyone who wishes to participate in the beta please email me. The quantity of responses will dictate the urgency on our part. (sorry that is a reality with limited development resources, i'm trying to be honest here)

I will need the following information:
- Ricoh Device Model (to determine if it can be supported)
- Country the device is located in (to determine the support organization)

Hello,

We bought this machine (marked "NRG MP 2000") that was supposed to copy, print, scan to folders on macs and manage faxes from Macs in our office; Ricoh assistance in Milano don't know what to do, they say that drivers just do not exist; Please, can you help?

Thanx,
Maurice

Maurice,

while there is no wayt that the brochures or documentation for our MFP promised "managing faxes form Macs" everything else it can do out of the box and very well.

Please keep asking your local office in Italy. We can provide Mac OSX lan-fax drivers upon request. But you do need to request them.

Don't argue with the poor paisans in Milano, these are developed in the US, there is no way they could know we have them...

Hi,

does anyone know how to fix printer problem or printer driver for Ricoh Aficion MP c3500, able to print but not printing properly, I get pages and pages of paper with ineligible characters on the pages.

catherine,

i believe you are looking at Postscript data sent to a printer without the postscript option installed?

see the Ricoh FAQs for details on how to print a config page, it will tell you if your printer has the postscript option installed.

If postscript is not installed then you will need to use a PCL driver \ PCL PPD.

MacOSX can use PXLmono PPD, Ghostscript and Foomatic Rip to print PCL6 \ PXL.

there is a FAQ on how to do this on MacOSX.

All needed pieces are freely available and OpenSource.

Hi Chris,
i bought an Aficio MP C2000 (located in Italy). The device work very well, but i had to send fax also from linux systems.
It's possible to partecipate to the LanFax driver beta program?


Thanks,
Filippo

Hi Uli and Chris,

I need a Linux driver for MPC3500/DSc535, no PostScript.

Please let me know where I can download it.

Thank you for the help.

--Joe

Joe,

all Ricoh Linux PPDs, both Postscript and PCL6 aka pxlmono are hosted here on openprinting.org in the printer database.

hint: click on workgroups, then printing, then select the database

Thanks Uli! Yes I found the right driver and it seems working, except for the test printing page gets a bit of enlarged. Any recommendations on how to fix it? I am still tweaking it to make it work better.

Hello Chris,

i have reed your posting to LANFAX Drivers.
Please let us participate to your beta test with this driver for MP 4000.
We like to use this at a customer (in Germany) with two devices from same model, linux Server is “univention” / Debian with cups.

The second problem at there is the function “Hold Print” / “Angehaltener Druck” to make personal mailboxes at Machine-HDD without password. I have posted this request also in this forum.

Hi Chris

We have the same problems here in france
We have bought several multifunction Ricoh printers and right now our linux users want to send fax like the windows users.

I have read all the thread here and called my local reseller which is ricoh france.
They told me that no linux fax driver exists.
They even told me that no mac version exist.

How can i find these linux version?

Eric,

we can assure you that they exist, and Ricoh France can contact Chris or myself directly. We do provide access to these files on our intranet so we can control the beta.

Please use Chris Story as a reference and also Ricoh Americas Corporation to help Ricoh France contact us.

Hi this is Nasser form Dubai; We bought a Richo Aficio MP C2000 brand new machine. We got driver for mac os with the package; But after installing we are not able to print from MAC some error texts are coming some times. So far we could not use that.

Please give me a clear details:

1. Whether I can use this machine on MAC ?
2. Is latest drivers are available ?
3. What are the procedures to do print on mac os X 10.5 or later

immediate reply, highly appreciated

thanks
Nasser

Nasser,

Mac OSX drivers from the Ricoh website expect the optional Postscript module to print.

If your company chose to not purchase the recommended Postscript option, then you will need to use the Linux PXL PPD instead.

Please review the Ricoh FAQs above for details on what you need to install on your mac to print PCL6
