So i went to the site and discovered why "its a nightmare printer" Turns out they use account codes, and you really need to do is flip through various drivers till you find the one that has the "Valid Access" tab- So instead of 5 minutes it took me 15 minutes to connect the client.

Otherwise same as any other printer.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 6:59 PM To: NT Subject: [NTSysADM] SOT: Ricoh printer issues Hi all, I've been subcontracting recently for a large MSP mainly infrastructure work (Router's , WLAC's , Switches, etc..), Anyhow today I get an email if I can go to visit a site to connect a client to a Ricoh printer (at first I thought it was a joke ) but then after being assured it was a legit request I said absolutely. So the dispatch says "oh you dont understand these printers are a complete nightmare". I personally have always used and recommended Canon (yes a bit pricier , but in terms or reliability and large volume that's always beenmy go-to) So my question to anyone who has , past or present, used network Ricoh printers is "what the heck can be so complicated about connecting to a Ricoh" any feedback is greatly appreciated.
