I’ve spent too many hours wrestling with the Ricoh driver portal. Here is everything I wish I knew sooner. If you go to Ricoh’s support site, you’ll be greeted by a wall of alphabet soup: PCL6, PostScript, RPCS, XPS. Do not panic.
Have a Ricoh horror story? Or a driver tip I missed? Drop it in the comments. We survive print management together. If you are running a Linux server or ChromeOS, just use IPP Everywhere. Don’t even try to compile the Ricoh source code. Trust me.
Let’s be honest. Nobody wakes up excited to install a print driver. In fact, for most of us, the phrase “print driver” ranks somewhere between “root canal” and “spreadsheet audit” on the excitement scale.
