Instructions

It is suggested to install the Ricoh printer driver manually from the Ricoh's website at Ricoh Drivers.

To add a printer, open "System Preferences" and click "Printers & Scanners".

In the "Printers & Scanners" window, click the plus sign (+) to add a printer.

Select the IP section on the toolbar and make sure the protocol is set to Line Printer Daemon – LPD. As an example, we are adding the "LB2-218-RicohC2504" printer with the IP address "172.21.200.54".

Please make sure the correct Ricoh driver is selected under the Use dropdown menu

Click "Add" to complete the process. The below picture is an example when it's completed.

Repeat this process for other printer you want to add.
