PPDM is the replacement for DesktopBinder.

Setup APP2Me today. What an Intrusive Piece of Slow Garbage. Requires GOOGLE DESKTOP. That is a huge strike against it already. And Slow.. Did I mention Slow. Having to walk up to a machine and selecting Embedded Feature, User, App2Me print and then your job is such a hassle.

Never could get the Scan to work. Kept saying my settings were incompatible. WTF its B&W 200dpi multipage PDF. How hard is that.

I ran into the scanning issue as well. Since the MFP was going to a location that had no use for App2Me, we didn't press the issue. But I was told that there was a Java update avaliable that would take care of that. It was something about the App2Me Manager having a conflict with the version of Java on the MFP. From what I understand, the Manager App was updated, then later found that there was a conflict with one of the versions of Java.

I have not been able to verify this, so... take it for what it's worth.

Sounds like removing the funtion key and replacing it with a blanking plate is a plan

I had to update the java to the latest version so it worked with the 1.5 version of the manger app.

It seems to be for small offices/workplaces who dont have locked down networks, the customers we have installed it in like it but I guess not sutiable for all customers..

Yeah wishing I had some of those laying about. I do for the older white consoles, but not for these blue ones.

Yes I love app 2 me and we try to include it on every deal.

What

Just as I was about to try it for the first time, I'm told that it has been discontinued.

What an astounding success, heh?

Giant flop. To many it was a step back with a touch of flair added to it.

I find most of these java based applications to date unimpressive.
The only one I like is follow me printing using magnetic tags as it's simple, quick to use and does actually serve a useful purpose.

Apart from that I often ponder how many different ways are they going to come up with to do the same old tasks?

IMHO Ricoh should concentrate on improving core built-in / out of the box functions.

E.G

Instead of just a LDAP search function they should allow the scanning user list to be actively populated straight from LDAP.
Have it automatically query the server for changes and have the frequent users list populated based on hits.
Once it had been initially configured there would be zero maintenance of the user list, I.T support would love it.
