for color it might sometimes give you reduced quality
I might take some time or knowledge to find the right driver (google
and
compare models with their predecessor)
Trying to setup a fedora printer server box is not a solution, I
suspect
you will need some driver on your rhel4 box, to forward you print
requests to the fedora box
You could switch to the fedora box as the print server, if you need to
have "full" capability
We need to have the full functionality of the latest driver.
So are you saying if I setup a fedora box with a queue to the Ricoh and
define the 'full functionality' needed in that queue, and get the RH4
boxes to see that queue it will all work even though the RH4 boxes don't
have the Ricoh drivers installed ?
Thanks

No, that is what I suspect will not work, unless you could pipe the lpr
command through, haven't tried that before not really a requirement
where I needed it
I checked the Ricoh website, they seem to be supporting rhel 4 & 5
so I do not understand why they would put a dependency that requires you
to have Fedora.
Could you tell me which models we are talking about?
