Ricoh SP4210 (Lanier LP 37N) printing from iphone ?

[copyman]

Is there a way to print from iphone to this older Lanier model ? It is connected with USB to a workstation, and the workstation in on their wired / wireless network. The printer is shared and PC always left on.

Maybe a wireless adapter if Ricoh offered such a thing?

They said the printer does not show on their Iphones like the printer I replaced. The printer I replaced was a small wireless throw away POS!

Thanks

In addition to printer USB cable to PC:
You should be able to plug the printer directly into LAN Ethernet switch or router and install a LAN printer driver on the share PC.

Assuming the LAN is WIFI capable:
Is the iPhone on the same active network or subnet as the LAN PC?
Is the LAN PC firewall set to Public or Private network settings?
Can the share PC see the iPhone on the LAN?

I'm unsure if the SP4210 is capable of direct AirPrint. It is capable of WiFi networking.
Search Apple Store for any free network iPhone printer Apps that will interface via WiFi into the LAN.
Install the free App to the iPhone and test the connection to the printer or the shared PC on the LAN.
