Re: MPS and Linux HELP!
So some clarification first. PaperCut absolutely does support Mac. In fact, it is the only cost recovery/print control solution that I know of that actually installs in an all Mac environment. (Server and Client) It also is the only solution I know of that installs in a Linux environment. So both of your issues are solved with PaperCut. I included the install guides for Mac and Linux to get you started.

Re: Ricoh Launches New Aficio MFPs With App2Me Solution
Long ago when digital was getting started and we didn't have a policy, we installed a machine similar to a 171 at a medium office. It was their first machine that could network fax, so they wanted us to install the fax driver on each workstation. I don't remember the exact number but it was around 40-50ish. As far as installing drivers on the server vs. the workstation, that's something the customer decides. If they decide they don't want the driver on the server (or perhaps their server if...

Re: SP 5200 Series A4
FAC16 is worse. Interesting tidbit...The UK has a small, medium, and large cabinet for this series. This is my guess... There is no way to put this on a cabinet and protect against it tipping over which of course, Ricoh would be liable for. However, if the dealer community comes up with their own answer, Ricoh has plausible deniability. If that is true, I wonder what the Direct side will do.

Re: Novell and Ricoh MFP's
Here is the response from my tech: The copier interactivity with Novell will be only in a printing environment if you want Novell to act as the print server for the copier. There is a NDPS gateway (a Novell print server software) for Ricoh devices that can be downloaded from Ricoh’s web-site. Other that that, it only will act as a file storage medium. No software, other than the Ricoh NDPS gateway, will be loaded to it like scanrouter, fax print driver, etc… You would have to have a windows...

Re: Canon Eliminates All Pricing Programs and adds Chargebacks?
I met with Canon today. My rep said she had heard a lot of negative feedback from the dealers. It is easier to manage from an admin perspective, but I feel like this is a penalty to the smaller dealers. Almost seems like a program to where the big dealers get bigger and the small and medium dealers stay the same or have a little bit of change. Overall, I am not impressed.
