Title: RE: How to configure AS/400 printing to a Ricoh 551

Hi James
Sorry I must have missed this the first time round..... We've various Ricoh printer/copiers (150's, 350's and 550's). We've been able to set them up fine as remote output queues, as HP4's. The problem with this is that you cannot print page ranges etc, so there are limitations. We consulted Ricoh and IBM to try to get them setup as *DEVD's so we had the additional flexibility, but although they configured and varied on, the reports never were released (they just sat in status RDY). We tried everything!!

Feel free to email me directly if you need any further info.

James,

No direct experience with Ricoh, BUT so far every
copier/fax/printer/scanner/coffeemaker combination I have worked with
ends up configured as a Remout Outq with HPT and a device type of *HPII
*HPIII or *HP4. With the exception of Minolta which sells a very cool
(but not cheap) controller specifically for the iSeries, the copier
people don't seem to know/care about anybody but windoze.

Check the docs with the machine but I suspect you'll end up in remote
outq land.

Perhaps Mr Tykodi would have additional knowledge on the Ricoh.
