You won't be printing from anything until it's properly connected to your local network, which you've not bothered to mention whether or not it is

that model has neither bluetooth, nor wi-fi. yes it has something on it that, for whatever reason, ricoh calls it wi-fi. it is not wi-fi. so you need to get it connected to your network.

Actually the Smart Operation Panel has both plus NFC. They are all very short range and are used to connect to the android OS of the panel and not to the engine.

Hard wire internet or LAN, Local Area Network?

hard wired like directly plugged into the router

Do you know what the IPO address is?

If you know the IP address, can you ping it from your computer?

Is the network jack enabled? Check SP 5985-001, it needs to be set to 1.

i agree, but it is such a pain to deal with. and beyond what most people would understand. it's not exactly user friendly. though i haven't messed with it in a good while now.

you can use one of these, it costs very little, and I saw here on the forum everyone is very enthusiastic, then, for the smartphone, you download the ricoh connector or mopria print app, and you should be able to print.
it connects directly to the copier's LAN port with a cable and you can attach it to the back with Velcro
