Re: Mobile Printing
Use a router to create a mini wireless network where the copier is the only thing connected. Velcro the router to the back of the copier. Name the router's wireless Copier. Plug router into copier with patch cable. You can get a wireless router on-line for less than $20 these days.

Re: Wireless Printing to a LAN port on a Ricoh 4420NF (Savin 3760NF)
Answers to the questions I think are in there: Yes, you can wirelessly print to a 4420 with a wireless card, as long as the home has wireless. The router does not act as a server, it acts as a router. It will take the print job from the PC and "route" it to the printer, as long as you configure them both to be on the same network/IP scheme and print to that IP. Do you need a wireless print server? Well, the answer to that is "no" if you have a wireless card in the 4420 and "yes" if you not.

Re: Wireless Printing to a LAN port on a Ricoh 4420NF (Savin 3760NF)
Thanks very much and LOL about the paragraphs, you are right about that! So if I am understanding this correctly, I need to put the wireless print server next to the 4420NF and run a short CAT5 cable to it? I then can input an IP address into the 4420NF and tell the printer driver what it is. Or maybe it will assign one automatically under DHCP? I would then find it on the 4420NF and input that when settin up the driver? LAstly, do I need to do anything with the router if I use the wireless...

Re: Wireless Printing to a LAN port on a Ricoh 4420NF (Savin 3760NF)
Correct, short CAT5 cable from printer to wireless print server. Best to put in a static IP into the machine, otherwise, you'd have to print to the hostname of the printer and have something doing local DNS to map it from the name to the ever-changing IP. You shouldn't need to do anything at all with the router. Just make sure your IP for the printer is in the same range as the PC. for example, the PC's IP is 192.168.1.1, you could make the printer 192.168.1.44 For small home networks, it's...

Re: Setup in wireless environment
Thanks for the feedback. To be on the safe side I ended up snaking a 100 foot Cat5 cable back to the fast ethernet switch. I just was not too sure on the stability or how to setup one of these units. When you plug the cat5 into the copier are you using the wireless print server or the wireless bridge? Some wireless print server do not have the bridge from what I read. Can someone explain how to configure one of these units so we all can learn. JasonR what make/model are you using?

Re: Setup in wireless environment
To clarify, what I'm using is actually a wireless bridge that connects the network card on the MFP via a cat5 cable to the bridge which connects to the wireless network. http://www.cdw.com/shop/produc...al-Band/1700151.aspx By doing that, you are connected to the network and can do anything you would be able to do with a direct network connection (scanning, etc.).

Re: MPC 2030 Wireless Connection
scanning is thru a network only. Why not use the Ethernet port, connect a WAP to the Ethernet port and then connect the WAP to the wireless network. WAP = Wireless Access Port. You can get a wireless switch to act as a WAP pretty cheap and don't have to run around in circles.

I am surprised Sharp is not beating their drum more about this as I think it is an industry first.

Re: MP 301 Mobile Printing Solution
For either Android or iOS, you can also use the Smart Device Print App as long as they are on the same wireless network as the device they want to print to. What I like about the app is the ability to apply finishing, use Locked/Stored/Hold Print & allow the client to use User Codes. I don't know if you can do that with AirPrint on iOS devices.

Re: wireless nic on 224sp
A wireless bridge converts, or "bridges", a wired ethernet appliance to wireless. D-Link 802.11g Wireless Bridge for $99.99 from Tiger Direct can give you faster commumication speed than the 802.11b Ricoh interface ... and because the connection is made through the RJ45 port on the NIC, all functions should be available.

Re: wireless nic on 224sp
I know the technology, I have not actually performed this specific scenario ... so those who have please verify that all functions are available.
