RICOH AficioSG2100N driver not working

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

I have a Ricoh Aficio 2100N (network connected). The RICOH AficioSG2100N driver does not work: cups reports regular printing, confirms successful transmission to the printer, printer blinks for some seconds, but nothing happens. No error message.

There's a (german) discussion under http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/drucker-ricoh-aficio-sg2100n-installieren/ telling that a special ipsio driver from Ricoh would be required and that this driver would require further patches.

Maybe it's to complex for Ubuntu to support a special printer. However, it does not make sense to include a non-working ppd/driver.

regards
