    Print from USB

    Does anybody know of an MFP that has this capability.
    Ricoh will Scan to USB on the newer color and a couple of BWs but nothing about Print to USB.

        Print FROM USB or TO?

        Any MFP you can USB to a PC. Can't think of any Savin/Ricoh except for a tiny fax aio they sell that can print from say a Thumb Drive.

            The only Ricoh machines that can print from USB are the newer ones with Fierys attached - you use the USB port on the Fiery.

              We're a Copystar & Samsung dealer, and to my knowledge all Copystar, Samsung & HP with an USB port can print to it. =^..^=
              If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
              3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
              4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
              5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                Right, I am saying Print from USB.Ricoh has the little "Sammie
                AC207. put in a USB stick and print a file stored on there.
                Richo a little behind in the times here, it looks like. The 207 is only 22cpm and that is the only one AFAIK.

                  Ah! Now I get it.

                  The same goes. Any Copystar or Samsung with the USB2 port on the front of the machine can print files from a USB stick. =^..^=

                    The MPC2550 can do it, you can get an optional USB stick and SD card interface to connect devices to, it uses PictBridge to print them.
                    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

                    Hit it.

                      Problem with using PictBridge is that is requires the camera to trigger the printing and its doesnt support DPOF, so it would print all or nothing. Also I am not sure it will print anything that is not a pix, (jpg, png,etc)

                        I am looking at the EFI8100 brochure. I think there is a new EFI for the C4000 but cant find anything on it.

                          The E8100 can scan to USB, although probably not in the way we're thinking.

                          If you have a FACI kit installed in it (optional), you can hook up a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to it. You would then use Fiery Remote Scan to scan to a local file, which in this case, would be the USB. There are 2 USB ports on the front of it.

                          The E5100 (RIP for the C4000) can't do this.

                            Good point!

                            You can do the same for scanning, as well.

                            The difference is that the Fiery Remote Scan tool can not only load as TWAIN driver, but it's freestanding, too - meaning that you can scan directly to file without having a host application, such as Acrobat or the like,
