'Spool' is technically an acronym for simultaneous peripheral operations online. Data is sent to and stored in memory or other volatile storage until the program or computer requests it for execution. I'm actually ready to donate a small amount to somebody who would hack an open-source driver (for CUPS). Spooling is a process in which data is temporarily held to be used and executed by a device, program or the system. The computers are wireless and the MFP, Savin/Ricoh MP C2003, is also wireless using a Netgear wireless bridge. Situation: We have a customer that has recently been complaining about random slow printing. I also connect the previous machines to the customers network for print and scanning.
#What is ricoh print spooling drivers#
I'm planning to return it, but was wondering if somebody could explain a bit about drivers (what is DDST?), and if somebody knows if there is any chance that such driver for Linux will be out in any time soon. I service Kyocera, Ricoh, and Konicaminolta.
If I try any other driver (320DN for example), the printer shows that it is receiving data, the spool on the computer is processing, and then it just thinks the job is finished and done but the printer does nothing. The connection to the printer works, I can access the web interface for management, I can print test pages via buttons on the printer or via the web interface. The technician at the company where I bought the printer said that DDST is a stripped-down version of PCL6. There are only so-called DDST and ICM drivers for Windows and Mac, but no PPD as opposed to slightly older models from RICOH (320DN for example). It also seems there is no PPD file for this printer, as it doesn't accept PostScript at all. CUPS/OpenPrinting doesn't have a driver for exactly this printer.
I'm having big problems printing on a RICOH Aficio SP C240DN (a color laser printer).
