    MP2000 on MAC OS X

    Hello, I install a MP2000SP, at a client who work on MAC OS 10.5.9.
    I managed to set the scanner. But I can not configure the printer.

    I tried different IP printing protocol:
    - DPA DAEMON
    - IPP
    - HP JETDIRECT
    I also download the latest version of Drivers provided by Nashuatec.

    But I still have the same problem! I print a page test, and the photocopier out several sheets
    white, or leaves with symbols.

    I can not find: x

    Do you have "postscript" installed in the MP 2000?

        I don't have postscript card installed on my MP2000. But I already tried to print on a MP1600, without the card and it worked.

          You will need the PS option to print to Macs.

            gutenprint for Mac OS it has a simple driver that will enable printing from your Mac with on need of a postscript card, just choose IPP printing put in an IP and it will find the driver the right driver by it self.

                Take care when suggesting the Gutenprint drivers. I have found that they don't work with all models of Ricoh machines. Case in point: the MPC2050 / 2550. So be sure to check that your model is supported before attempting to install (or suggest!)

                      Re: MP2000 on MAC OS X

                      Hello. This is how I got working my Ricoh Aficio MP 2000 without card:

                      Added printer with LPD protocol with Generic PostPrict Printer use. Works flawlessly with duplex also.

                      Been using this for years. I just tested all possible methods years ago, then it just started working like this. Hope this helps others as well. Current Mac version: Ventura 13.6

                        Seriously?
                        I'm sure that everyone that's been waiting 14 years for a solution (which was already posted) is breathing a little easier today
