Printing from OSX Mavericks to a Ricoh photocopier

willpearson

Hi I've been trying to make my office photocopier work with my mac. I've downloaded ghostscript, foomatic and pxlmono. If you know anything about this stuff or where I could look for advice - can you give me some pointers please??

Thank you,

Will

Perhaps you should ask a Mac forum instead of a Linux one...

Hi,

You could take a look at PaperCutNG( I think its free for personal use) if you have a local linux server on your network.

Basic steps once you install PaperCut are: use the CUPS interface on the server running PaperCut to create a printer queue. (You have the choice of IPP,Samba,LPR and so on). Install the PPD for the printer on your Mac and create a new printer on your Mac and point it to the PapercutNG CUPS queue.

Hope that helps.
