Beating a dead dog here, but sometimes an older hp driver will work in a pinch. The moral of the story that we can all agree on is "it depends on what the customer wants" I've set up several Linux computers in the past, many of these the customers were savvier more than many Windblows customers. They know what the limitations are and accept it as not being perfectly functional.

I have done that in the past. Had an insurance company with a software that "only supported HP printers." Martini series MFP worked fine once you determined which which tray selection in the driver corresponded to which drawer on the Ricoh.

Years ago I had to set up a bunch of Windows NT engineering computers to print to an LD232c. Since there was no driver for it, I ended up using a LaserJet 3 driver with a port created by SmartDevice for Client. It was convoluted, but it worked.

Most Ricoh machines also let you map tray calls to each tray.

You need to print file from the HP (or whatever make driver), and find the escape code for each tray called.

In WIM, you can then plug that code in for each tray.

Cool. I did not know this.
