Iam attempting to use a Ricoh Aficio MP 2000 printer on Kubuntu 13.04, to no avail. It sees the printer (and other printers) and can print successfully to other printers, including another Ricoh printer, but I get driver errors on the MP 2000 regardless of which one I use.
I have tried the Gutenprint one, the Openprinting.org one, and the other two default options, as well as downloading a straight PPD. They all result in a paper size/type mismatch error. I can then choose to form feed, and they give me one of the following errors:
We have ricoh "aficio mp c6501" in my job and I try to print from ubuntu 11.04. But it prints some hundred white pages.... When I install the printer, Ubuntu found it but when I try to print.... only white pages.
(1). Install CUPS Gutenprint v5 through repos and then try again after deleting old printer, this time when you choose the RICOH > Aficio MP C2050 driver there will be the Gutenprint option now, ignore recommended and choose Gutenprint!Test print. if thay does not fix, then do (2).
I have a Ricoh Aficio MP 2000 printer. I have macOS Big Sur running on a Mac mini. It is possible to connect to the printer and print graphics, web pages, etc. But I have problems to print PDFs with embedded fonts. I always get Error: invalidfont.
You could see if it will print a PDF from Adobe Reader or Acrobat using the "Print as Image" print option in those apps. This will RIP (rasterize) the page data on the computer instead of on the printer.
I don't know whether those Ricoh print drivers are capable of switching to PCL. You may need to check all the available options in the print dialog, and see if there's anything relating to fonts, or how the data is sent.
