1060 print challenge

Can anyone help?

I have never seen or heard of the tcp/ip port re-configuring itself, however i have heard of weird things happening if more than 9 or 10 people try to print using 9100 at the same time. With that being said the quickest remedy may be to set printing up using LPR, as it has always seemed to me anyway to be the more stable, especially when printing to a "dumbed" down version of the UNIX OS, which is what is on that print controller. If you are unfamiliar with setting up LPR printing relpy back and i will get you some instructions.

sure I'd like to know how to set up LPR, I'll try it out. Let me know. My email is claursen@techservecopiers.com
Thanks!

This applies to Win2K and newer. The lpr queue names do differ as i have stated on the last page however most late models can use "lp"

Nice chart IT Dude but I dont see a way to configure the port for Byte counting. When LPR is required I set the printer up using "Standard TCP/IP Port" and when finished I can configure LPR including "enable byte counting"

Setting the "LPR" option in "Standard TCP/IP" port is *not* the same as adding a real LPR port.

As the Dude mentioned, LPR is alot less problematic, Microsoft has periodicly broken Standard TCP/IP over the years.

LPR byte counting is not required for our printers. All byte counting does is tell the printer what size the print file is before it sends the file so that it knows when the end has arrived. Without it, the printer will automatically sense the "end of file".

Some printers do require it, but I'm not aware of any current Ricoh model that requires it.

Thanks for the info Jason. When I have called Ricoh for help in the past they always include the Byte counting option. So maybe they are just covering all the bases. Never a bad idea.
