Ricoh Aficio SP C221 SF / 1.72 Firmware update

**teoadams** · 03-30-2020

I've noticed that in the setting.ini file the field "BOOTFILE" is empty

My final suggestion. Buy a boat and use the C221 as an anchor. Then buy a new printer.

Do you know where can I find this procedure from Service Manual?

I have tried USB and Ethernet connection with the same result; I have tried Windows10, Seven and XP with the same result.

Thanks for any suggestion

First check your printer IP address 192.168.0.100 is correct & you can open up the WIM page?

Do you have antivirus software running?

if you do it could be seeing the .exe file as a virus & deleting it.

Don’t know if this will help but I once had issues using Ricoh driver on a Lanier equivalent and it would not update firmware, had to use Lanier driver.
