My company has a RICOH Aficio MP C4501. It is a copier and a network printer, and it stand alone, (has no computer to which it is attached.). I got the ip address xxx.xx.xx from the system admin, and did a "net view xxx.xx.xx" to get the share name. I can print to this device fine using windows, after I provided my four digit user id when I added the printer to my available printer list. BUT, I want to use the unix convention using mks toolkit, of sending a file with pcl commands to this device.
cat mypclfile >\\xxx.xx.xx\sharename works fine to send the file mypclfile to the device, but the device does not respect my user id if it gets a file this way. I was hoping I could find some pcl command to pass the user id in mypclfile, but I cant find a way to pass this user id to the device when I want to print in this way. The copier can be put into printer mode from the console, and I can see the jobs making their way to the device, and being rejected cause I have not presented the four digit code I think. Any suggestions? I searched the pcl doc for a "userid=xxxx" option but cant find such.
