Does anyone knows where I can find a twain driver for Ricoh Aficio 551?

Re: Twain Driver for Aficio 551

What operating system are you looking for? I haven't seen one of those in a very long time, but you likely won't find a 64-bit driver if that's what you need. If it's on the network though Windows may be able to just use its own built in scan utility to work with it. That said that model is pretty much a throwback to the Windows NT era at this point so your options are going to be very limited.

Well at this point I'm working on windows 7 x32 bit but if there is a windws xp driver will be ok.Correct me if I am wrong, I was said that the machine can work just with twain because i scan router is not bit in the macine.

I haven't set up any scan to e-mail on this device. Can I scan to e-mail on yahoo/hotmail/gmail on this device ?

Re: Twain Driver for Aficio 551

You can scan to any email address you want in the whole world.

To get scan to email to work, make sure the firmware is the latest, then you need the following info:

Customers SMTP server, (Usually the mailserver of the Internet Service Provider)
You need to make sure the IP address is valid, and the subnetmask and gateway, and also the DNS server. (You can use Google's DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4)

You also need a valid administrators email address (Senders email), set up at the machine, for example: scanner@customersISP.com

if all this is ok, then you should be able to scan to email, unless something is blocked, or they use other ports for SMTP.

You can not assume that the settings that work with one customer, works with another, you have to make sure all the info above is right for THAT customer.

If this model had scanning of any type it would have been using Scan Router. It is far too old for scan to email.
