Does anyone has a hint how to install new Ricoh SP 213w printer? Im not able to find a ppd file but I got a .plc file from Ricoh containing some information about the machine. Is there a possibiliy to make a use of it?

Thanks in advance

frank

Update:

Printers -> Add -> Select the printer from the network -> select "Generic" -> "PCL 5e"

makes the printer print something reasonable, though the margins dont seem right.

Solution:

selecting "Generic" -> "PCL 6/PCL XL" seems to work better.

I added the printer via its IP Address and chose the Generic" -> "PCL 6/PCL XL LF CUPS+Gutenberg Driver.(a slight change to the above driver) The Testpage describes the fitting PPD as STP01497.PPD Hope that helps.

The only one actually working for me is the Generic PCL Laser Printer (grayscale), the other ones (Pcl5/6) used to work not any more.

@Seth It's an answer in form of a comment. What is it you don't understand and what is that 'requires clarification'? Now I am the one who 'requires clarification'. – Sebastian Nov 13 '16 at 10:56
