We actually went the other way from Ricoh's to Canon's (mostly IR-3225's) Here is what I found. Ricoh's - reliable and fast printing (both from Windows and Unix). They finally came out with a hardware device (@remote) which will scan multiple subnets and automatically report back to Ricoh for any page counts (all of ours were on lease) Canon's - so far reliable, but very slow printing from both Windows and Unix (Canon's answer was to change all ports to LP - which did make some difference). Their remote management software is Ok, but nothing too special.
