    Ricoh PCL 6 Universal: Export, saving and import of settings?

    Microsoft Server 2019, printer driver "PCL 6 Universal V4.32" for Ricoh IM C3000
    -----------------
    I searched for a feature to "save / export all settings" of a driver and to "import / reuse" them on another, but identical driver or to reload them when I crashed my settings - and I could not find it.
    Is there really no way to "save and reuse" current settings?
    (I know the 1-click-settings, but I'm asking for really "all" settings ..)

    Regards

    First unless you are planning to setup printer pools utilizing multiple make and/or model printers, you should be using the standard PCL6 driver.

    As for saving settings, I know that in the past you could print a test page from the driver and it would list all the files that the printer was using. One of those files contains the settings.

    If you are working with a large domain with multiple departments requiring different default settings, you might want to consider using Printer Driver Packager NX. Printer Driver Packager NX | Support & Downloads | Global | Ricoh

      I believe the settings are in the ".rcf" file.
