http://www.humans-enabled.com – Here's a quick write-up on my real-life experience with adding the HP LaserJet and Ricoh Aficio MP 3500 as printers in Ubuntu GNU/Linux.I chose to make a note of this simple task because I was tripped up by it at first. The problem? The default setting caused nothing but garbage at the printer. After some simple trial and error, I figured out that I needed to switch the driver settings as noted below. Ricoh Aficio 3500 Driver:Ricoh Aficio MP 3500 PXLHP Laserjet 8000 series Driver:HP Laser Jet 8000 Series pcl3, hpcups 3.12.xAdding a printer in Ubuntu GNU/Linux 12.04 is really easy, simply follo (HowTos)

Ricoh Aficio SP 100su E 22 weeks 5 days ago

After installing a Ricoh Aficio SP 100su E printer (it does scanning as well), I've tried a tenth of the GDI and PCL (5e/6) generic and Ricoh drivers without any success.

I've learned from Ricoh that this printer uses GDI standard... but these drivers don't seem to work. No errors occur, but no pages are printed out.

Has anybody succeeded to print under Linux with this one?

Hi,

I'm trying to print to a Ricoh Aficio printer, my OS is Ubuntu 11.10 on a Sony laptop.

When I connect it it all seems ok, in the sense the printer appears on the printer list and is recognised as the correct model.

However when I send a test page the folllowing occurs.

Instead of printing a test page it prints the following text:

"CUPS PrintTestPage"

not sure why this is happen

I'm having big problems printing on a RICOH Aficion SP C240DN (a color laser printer). Cups/Openprinting doesn't have a driver for exactly this printer. There are near numbers but not 240DN.

It also seems there is no PPD file for this printer, as it doesn't accept PostScript at all.

[ubuntu] Corrupt pdf printing 32 weeks 4 days ago

I am running ubuntu 12.04.1 . I have multiple printers: a local Lexmark C544 and a remote Ricoh Aficio MP-9000. (the latter is a high-speed copier and printer that can run through a ream of paper in a minute, but it is a few rooms away.)

I believe cups is sending jobs in raw pdf to my printers. I believe neither of my printers is smart enough to understand pdf.

Hola a tots,

fa poc he instal·lat en un pc una mica antic Xubuntu 12.10 i fins ara tot va prou bé, fins i tot me n'he sortit configurant gigolo perquè es connecti a unes carpetes compartides en un servidor amb windows server 2003.

Però tinc problemes amb una cosa aparentment més senzilla com poder imprimir ja que vull imprimir en una Ricoh Aficio MP C2000 i seguint els passos per configurar-

Hi,

My ubuntu version is update to 12.04 and now I have problems printer. When I install driver printer, I don't have problem and I can print test page.

But I can't print all files.

Thanks for all who could help me to install a driver for smart card reader Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b9).

The driver is available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdricohcs/

And according to http://sdricohcs.sourceforge.net/ the driver has been included in the official kernel sources. Unfortunately the smart card reader Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II still not recognized by Ubuntu for me.
