Hi Darren, My experience with Ricoh support for Macs has been patchy. I've got an Aficio 401 connected to the macs here in the office, but it wasn't without trouble.
Basically, the installer didn't work. In the end, I pulled the PPD files out of the installer and physically droppped them in the macs PPD folder - 'gives full functionality. Following this method in OSX will give you similar functionality, minus (for some weird reason) the ability to adjust the output resolution. Go figure. Anyone know if 10.2 will assist/break this kind of solution? Cheers, Tobes. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Darren Kam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > We have a Ricoh Aficio 700 here at work, but it refuses to talk to a Macintosh.

Is there any way a Macintosh (either in OS 9 or X) can print to a PCL5e/PCL6 beast such as the Ricoh Aficio 700?
