[Misc] MP C6000 with MAC computers

[akewldewd]

Using an aficio MPC6000, the driver's dialog box isvery limited as to options like duplexing. Is there good mac driver for this machine which, will give the user maximum options to staple, duplex, punch or whatever?

Re: MP C6000 with MAC computers

Does the machine have a PS kit installed? Or are you using a hack? E.g. Gutenprint. If the latter, then the limitations are down to the fact that the driver is third-party and unsupported. If the former, then depending on the version of Mac you are running your print options should be numerous. Usually with Mac, the printing preferences are hidden away a bit.

The Ricoh PS-driver checks the machine for all options (like finishers, LCT's etc.). If you download the correct driver, all options and settings should be available. If you don't have a PS3-kit installed, like Ruben says, then don't expect that all options are available.

Yes PS3 C7XXX (7000 or 7500 which ever it takes) I just installed it.

I found the option for duplex under the dropdown for layout. I would have thought the mac users would have known where to look for it. Well I know now. thanks

The current download PPD should have what you need if postscript is installed and functioning properly on the copier. If you are using CUPS then its a crapshoot at best and usually color does not work very well if at all.
