N/B and Colour on driver RPCS

[hmac]

Hello,
I install the MPC 2050 RPCS driver on my server.
I wish that all the profiles of impressions or B / W
by default.
I go to "Printing Defaults" in the "Advanced" tab, and I change all the profiles in N / B. All is OK.

Problem: When the user uses a profile other than "No setting" hisworks in B / W, but when your back again "No setting" the driverreturns to the default color.

Order of use:
No parameter -> B / W
RectoVerso -> B / W
No parameter -> Color oO "

How?

You have a couple of options....

• Each workstation should have its default setting set to b/w using the printer preferences in the 'printers and faxes' location (not from within an application). This will set the default going forward.
• If you want to lock out color printing altogether, enable 'User Authentication' for the Printer/color as follows....

1. Press the [User Tools/Counter] key.
2. Press [System Settings].
3. Press [Administrator Tools].
4. Press [User Authentication Management].
5. Select [User Code Auth.].
6. Select which of the machine's functions you want to limit. In your case select [Printer>Color]
If you do not add any users with codes, all print jobs sent in color will just dump.

• You can create a custom driver (PCL only) that you can design with only the features you want available. Here is the link Ricoh Driver Editor

I would edit profile "no parameters", to be default in N / B. But evenif I change the settings in "Printers and Faxes" B / W, when I use a different profile (eg RectoVerso), the profile "no parameter" backin color. I do not block the color, just select the B / W by default. Butit always comes back to default color

The RPCS driver can be a little unpredictable that way.

Like Teebee mentioned, customize a copy of a PCL driver (I recommend PCL6, normally), and default it to B/W.

Please note that the RPCS driver is being phased out; it's not even available on a lot of the newer models. That means that there will be no further development on it, so you shouldn't expect any newer versions of RPCS down the road. That's also true to some degree for PCL5, as it is only offered for legacy applications where PCL6 won't work, so that, too, will disappear in the not-too-distant future.
