| 1182709 | 2011-03-01 21:09:00 | Kia ora tatou, Our organization has a relationship with an outsourcing company as a result we have an adhoc P2P network connecting about 60 netbooks to various models of Ricoh printers. It has been decided to setup a local machine to print onto the adhoc network printers. While we can print without issue using the cloud to these network printers I would like to know how to install the PCL or similar device drivers to print locally. We would welcome step by step instruction on how to install printer drivers for a variety of printers e.g. Ricoh Aficio MP 171, Ricoh Aficio MP 7001 Ricoh Aficio MP C2*** etc to print from a local machine to printers connected via network switch. The above printer models are all visible on the Netbooks but prompt you for a driver when setting up. Any thoughts welcome. |

| 1182711 | 2011-03-01 21:19:00 | This is my XP way: Go to Printers and faxes Add a printer select local printer deselect automatically detect and install select create new port, use drop down and select standard TCP/IP Insert IP address of printer, ignore name but you can make this what ever you want Standard generic network card finish browse for drivers and you should be all go Windows 7 is similar procedure but looks different If you use Windows 7 make sure you deselect the find drivers automatically otherwise it will install windows ones and they are a bit basic Let us know how you are getting on :) |

| 1182712 | 2011-03-02 01:12:00 | Hi Maui, You should be able to go to Ricoh.co.nz, under Downloads, and select one of your model devices. If it has the "PCL6 driver for universal print", you can download / install that, and it will work for potentially a hundred-odd devices. Otherwise, give them a call on their freephone number 0800 80 76 76 :) |
