Dislikes: Can anyone tell me if there's any way of sending faxes from a Mac? Machine is a Ricoh MPC2051, although I'd be interested in a positive answer even if it is for a different model.
Cheers!

With the lack of a lanfax driver on the support website I'd have to say no. I'll have a dig about for you tho.
It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Thanks for the effort, TM. I've been looking on Tessa, but nothing shows up, even for older models. But Tessa is known for storing stuff in the wrong place from time to time...Originally Posted by TonerMunkeh

Yes, LAN-FAXING from OSX 10.3 or later is possble. although I haven't tested it on OSX 10.7. There are PDDs available although there isn't one specifically for the MP C2051.
I didn't find any PPD that mentioned that possibility - care to share it with me, if you have it handy?
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have one for the MP C2050/2051 to hand. As with the Windows versions they are model specific. Your Ricoh dealer support should be able to obtain them for you.
For what model are those you saw?

The MP C3500 uses a LAN-FAX M8 driver in a Windows environment as does the MP C2051. I would suggest trying the OSX LAN fax ppd for that, although it may need re-working. Once the ppd is installed and a queue created you should be ready to go although using the LAN-FAX is not identical to printing in OSX.
Use the application's "File" -> "Print" menu. (The fax queue will not appear in "Printers" list.)
In Mac OS X 10.3, click "Fax..." button.
In Mac OS X 10.4, click "PDF" > "Fax PDF..." button.
The use the fax dialgoue settings box to set fax options.
Thank you for the tip! I'll try it next time I get the chance.
Cheers!
