I'm struggling to get anything printed properly - is there a proper driver for
this printer in CUPS. The driver I've chosen seems to distort everything
(like a page of A4 text comes out as a black spot 3px high and 2 wide! )
I've selected AppSocket/HP JetDirect and then since no Ricoh driver showed up
I selected Make:Generic and Driver:Generic PCL Laser Printer (en).
The reason I've chosen AppSocket/HP JetDirect is because nmap returned this
protocol when I scanned the printer. Choosing ipp, or http, lpd was not
successful either.
However, this AppSocket/HP JetDirect protocol with the Generic driver gives
the broken printing I've described above. Selecting the Generic PostScript
Printer (en) it prints pages and pages with ascii or screwed up characters
when I try a test page.
Any suggestions?
