i only have .fwu
copier tech, you would not have .rfu files to do it from the web interface?

Hi, yes sure I will send you the .rfu files, this will take a while to update as you have to do them individually. Best way is via SD card.

Hi guys,
Thank you all for your responses.
I bought on Amazon an "old" SD card (non HC) of 2go and everything worked perfectly. My MP C305 is up to date
What are the changes in version 1.55: 02?
I still do not have Google Print, but I listened to you, the Ricoh app works fine!

Re: Google Print MP C305SPF, FW update ?

I have installed the Google Print app from Ricoh on a few older machines and its a pain in the A..to set up. This app is a must if your customer is trying to print to a Ricoh MFP from a Chromebook as is the case for some of my customers. The new IM series are plug and play and sets up in minutes. No added cost. That stated..

The C305 firmware updated for Google Cloud Print is a special update that is only available on the "solution" page in the Google Cloud section on the TSC site. The next thing you will need to do is to purchase the app license from Ricoh or a dealer. The cost is $70 USD and is a one time license that is married to the machine. After you have the license the next step is to download from the TSC site the version 1 client. There are two versions, the C305 uses version 1 and hence the reason that you will need the special firmware from that solution page. Make sure you have the latest version of the client as their was a mandatory upgrade relating to security issues. The read me file looks like a 8th grader put it together but after a little trial and error I was able to make it work.

it is true that the yellow toner in these models is problematic. I recommend having a spare chip.

What's the problem with yellow toner ?

Re: Google Print MP C305SPF, FW update ?

Although there is yellow toner in the machine many times, the machine drops to the yellow toner no warning. Also, the yellow toner remains in the bottle too much and cannot be used. This toner can be reused by refreshing the chip.

the firmware update 1.50: 02 was not supposed to solve the problem?

"toner bottle incorrectly set" is displayed even when the bottle is loaded correctly

This can be resolved simply by changing SP3110-1/2/3/4 to 0 zero & set SP3-100-02 to 1 Toner End sensor.

Yes it was firmware & a redesign of the hopper/PCDU
