Try:
remote:force_localhost:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
First, see if the richo is responding. You may need to do this as root:
cp /usr/libexec/filters/UTILS/one.ps /tmp/one.ps
(or use 'locate one.ps' and copy it to /tmp)
lpr -D1 -P [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/one.ps 2>&1 |tee /tmp/log
Now you will see output like this:
2003-09-10-08:01:27.611 h110 [64415] lpr lp: Fix_send_auth: no security
2003-09-10-08:01:27.611 h110 [64415] lpr lp: setstatus: msg 'sending job '[EMAIL

And you should see the job on the printer. If you do not, then you need to
find the 'right' spool queue for the RICOH.
Next, see if there is a port open on the RICOH for accepting socket connections.
You can use nmap, portscan, etc. etc.:
#> nmap -sS 10.0.0.31
Interesting ports on h31.private (10.0.0.31):
(The 1637 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port State Service
21/tcp open ftp
23/tcp open telnet
80/tcp open http
280/tcp open http-mgmt
515/tcp open printer
631/tcp open ipp
9100/tcp open jetdirect
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 20.218 seconds
As you can see, you have ports 515, 631, and 9100 open -
515 is for LPD protocol
631 is for IPP protocol
9100 is for socket connections.
You can now try using port 9100:
I use the nc (netcat) program for this purpose:
110: {108} # nc 10.0.0.31 9100 </tmp/one.ps

^C punt!
h110: {109} #
Now you know that you are getting the files there.
Set up a printcap:
# add to /etc/printcap:
test:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever worked)
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:force_localhost
Now run checkpc -f:
# checkpc -f
Fixing test...
Now restart lpd:
# killall -HUP lpd
And check that the spool is working:
# lpq -Ptest
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active
Send a job:
# lpr -P test /tmp/one.ps
And you should be sending jobs directly to the printer.
Now you can add the ifhp filter:
# add to /etc/printcap:
test:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever worked)
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:force_localhost
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
The Ricoh should be able to be controlled using the default IFHP
printer, which is basically an HP Laserjet 4 M Plus.
