I'm using ubuntu 16.04. I bought a new ricoh sp 212sfnw it is a printer ,scanner, fax ,network and wireless printer. I can't find or install drivers for printer or scanner or network .
I tried this way :
- connect it via USB
- Printers -> Add -> ricoh sp 212sfnw -> ricoh
- there a list of many models for ricoh printers but i didn't find sp 212
- I tried many different models but all working very slow .
one solution for printer driver :
selecting "Generic" -> "PCL 6/PCL XL" looks to work better. The printer working good even via wifi
scanner :
sudo sane-find-scanner show this:
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x05ca [RICOH ], product=0x044f [RICOH SP 212SFNw]) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program.
scanimage -L show that :
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
I did that sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and added
# RICOH SP 212SFNW ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ca", ATTRS{idProduct}=="044f, ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
and that sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/ricoh.conf and added
#RICOH SP 212SFNw
usb 0x05ca 0x044f
But the same results I didn't find any way to install it
How to install driver for scanner in details please ?
