Ricoh 1232c printing issues

[Shadow1]

Unfortunately, I don't have nearly as much experience with Mac as I'd like. All I can say for something like that is to get the latest PPD's for the printer, and make sure all the other software has been updated.

Or just stick with using Scribus - it'll save you a lot of money in the long run.

no choice in the matter got the latestly ppd etc.. so.. yeh.. really really irritating.i hate spending time on technology

Internal tray full is usually a sensor just above the exit on the internal tray. There is a lever that folds out of the machine to detect the paper stack height - if it gets folded back into the machine it thinks the tray is always full.

the EXIT on the INTERNAL tray?

just to let you know i have NO manual at all...

there is a black lever where the print comes out.. and a black lever INSIDE the machine hovering just above the paper...

which one do you mean...

im so fucked

The lever that causes this is just above where the paper comes out inside the machine. It's black plastic about and inch and a half (5cm??) long. When its folded out it hangs down so that when the paper stacks up in the exit tray about 500 sheets will hold it up. When it is folded back into the machine, its almost invisible if you don't know its there - it just looks like a black bar above the gap where the paper comes from. If its folded in, you should be able to grab it with your fingers and GENTLY pull it out - it hinges in the front - be careful not to snap it off.

If somebody already snapped it off - good luck. It takes a bit of skill with a screwdriver to get access to replace it. Fortunately they don't break all that often - they usually just fold back in.
