    Google Print MP C305SPF, FW update ?

    Hello everyone, thank you for welcoming me.


    I have a MP C305SPF bought on eBay, I am very satisfied. i use same model at work so i wanted the same at home
    However, I can not use Google Print! Still, according to Google, the MP C305SPF is compatible.
    It is also indicated that a firmware update may be necessary: ​​/
    Only, impossible to find the firmware for this model (I understand that Ricoh does not communicate on it) ....
    Could you help me ? Is there a solution ?
    Thank you, and sorry for the "Google Translation".

    ps : I understand that this model consumes a lot of yellow toner, is it true?

    Thanks

    Hi there!
    According to my documents the MPC 305 is not suitable for google-print. On the last training we installed and tested google-print on a brand new device: it was a disaster. Roundabout 5 min from printorder to the output of the document.
    Greetings...

        Unless that member is Just Manuals who used to be a major advertiser, he/she is in violation of forum rules. If it is Just Manuals, you are grave digging. Paul Gelsman, owner/operator of Just Manuals, died nearly five years ago.

        My advice is that you call the dealer/branch that works on the Ricoh where you work.

          If you are trying to print from a mobile device, Mopria is a better solution. Or the Ricoh Connector App.

            Hello ! in theory according to google your machine if it is compatible with cloud Print:

            https://www.google.com/intl/es-419_ALL/cloudprint/learn/printers

            I bought an mpc300 a while ago and I have the firmware updated. According to this list it would be compatible, but I have only managed to synchronize with chrome and print but with the computer always on.
            If you only want to print from the mobile the mpc305 device has Airprint so if you have an iOS device you can print without needing any app.

            When I have a little time I will look at it calmly. If I get print I let you know.

            In the new IMC from the WIM can synchronize the photocopier directly with Cloud Print. This option does not appear in my model nor with the firmware to the latest version.

                Do you use Google print on your work MP C305?

                There was a firmware update for a yellow toner issue a while ago.

                The 305 has AirPrint but I guess you're not an Apple user.

                Your best bet would be using the Ricoh connector app this work very well.

                    If you were a qualified and authorized Ricoh tech you would simply check the Firmware History.

                        I tried updating firmware, without success.
                        I formatted the SD card in Fat32 (16gb), slipped the folder "romdata", but at startup I have an error SC868-00.
                        Do you think the card is too big?

                          Probably. Use a 2gb or less.

                            can I partition the SD card? can it work? Because I do not have a small SD card.

                              I have never tried it. But you have the option to update firmware remotely through web image monitor. You have to download another type of file * .rfu
