I just purchased a ricoh copier printer c2050 and cannot get it to print from my computer. I went to ricoh download page and downloaded driver. But printer does not show on mac. Printer shows being commented to computer.
What do I need to do?

Look for another topic here with reply from Matt Broughton.
A lot of the high-end Ricoh printers have postscript as an option - but the driver available from Ricoh for Macs ASSUMES you have the option installed. The good news is we don't really need the option. Install ghostscript and foomatic from:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org...inting/macosx/foomat ic
and pxlmono-ricoh from:
http://www.openprinting.org/sh...driver=pxlmono-Ricoh
Your exact model isn't listed - hope the 2051 choice works.

If your printer does not have the PostScript option installed, then you will need to use the "pxlmono" driver. Everything you need to print is available from _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o_. A driver for your C2050 is included in that package.
Your printer is not listed in the link Greg cited as you have a color printer http://www.openprinting.org/sh...river=pxlcolor-Ricoh
