The Ricoh AP600N replaces the AP2610N. (I don't know if you can get the 600 without the "N", which stands for "network card"). In fact, the case for the AP600N looks absolutely identical to the AP2610. They even use the same duplex unit, possibly even the same toner cartridge. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is that the AP600N is a lot more expensive than AP2610, and it has a faster processor under the hood.
Also, a word of warning regarding the AP2610 and OS X -- and this is something I didn't realize until recently because the project I was working on was still in Finale 2002 -- the AP2610 does not officially support USB printing under OS X. What this means, in practice, is that the *first* print job in OS X will print just fine. But if you want to send more print jobs, you have to unplug and replug the USB cable. Every time. Needless to say, this was an "issue" I wish I had been aware of before I bought the printer.
USB printing under OS 9 works fine. Apparently, Ethernet printing under OS X works fine too, but I don't have a network card for the AP2610 so I can't test that. I'm stuck unplugging and replugging the USB cable for the time being.
Hopefully, they have solved this problem with the AP600N. But I think it's ridiculous that Ricoh doesn't support USB printing under OS X with this model. It's probably just a driver issue, but since the printer has been discontinued, I'm not optimistic that it will ever be fixed. I guess I'll buy the network card when I can afford it.

Hi all:
I know this has been discussed before.
What Ricoh printer has replaced the AP 2610? Any information would be helpful.
