I work at a non-profit and I am the designated tech guy because everyone else knows less then I do. I'm trying to help 2 of my coworkers to print to a Ricoh Aficio MP C2500 from their late 2009 uMBP. The printer is set up in a network and the macs see it but can't print. I went to the Ricoh site and there aren't any drivers for 10.6 but there are 2 for generic Mac OS and others for 10.4-5. I've downloaded all of them but they haven't help. I connected 1 of the macs directly to the ricoh and the mac read it but when it printed i got this message '%!PS-Adobe-3.0%APLDSCEncoding: UTF8%APLProducer: (Version 10.6.2 (Build 10C540' on 1 page with a ton of black pages.
Can anyone help me? I am also trying to setup the same printer for our mac network at work. The printer is currently being used without any problem in a Windows environment our Macs can also see it but when printing i get 3 pages of code then unlimited blank. So far i have found that the drivers are included in Mac OS 10.6 and you can also download them from the Afico site. If i change the print protocol i get nothing and when i look at the printer activity i am getting authentication error so i presuming it has something to do with the printer setup rather than the mac or the drivers. I am working with our IT guy trying to get a fix.
Gestetner Printer Drivers For Mac
As soon as i know more i will post back. IT guy had no joy. I played around with the settings for several hours yesterday but no joy either.
I emailed Ricoh support and got the following answer. Thank you for contacting Ricoh Technical Support. Please do the following to verify that the postscript option is installed on the C2500: 1) Press User Tools/Counter 2) Press Printer Features 3) Press Config Page 4) Press User Tools/Counter Look in the System Reference section of the configuration page.
There will be a line that says Languages. Please make sure that PostScript is listed. If it is not, you will need to contact your Ricoh sales representative and request that the option be installed on the machine in order to be able to print from the mac. We don't have the postscript installed on ours so I am back to the drawing board. Finally i have an answer that will work takes about 5 mins and costs nothing.

Many printers and scanners use driverless technologies such as AirPrint or IPP Everywhere, which don't require additional drivers on your Mac. But third-party drivers might still be available for older devices that do require a driver. Always before connecting the device to your Mac for the first time. If the appropriate driver is available from Apple, your Mac will install it automatically. This list is no longer updated. Many vendors of printers and scanners have adopted driverless technologies such as AirPrint, and they are no longer providing drivers for new devices. If your printer was made in the last several years, it probably doesn't require a driver.
