How to Install Ricoh Printer

Download The Ricoh Printer Driver ( Refer to Instruction How To Download Ricoh Printer )

Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers

Click on “ Add Printer ” to start the add printer wizard for adding your Ricoh Printer

Regardless of what printers are listed, click on “ The printer that I want isn’t listed ”

Choose “ Add a local or network printer as an administrator ”

Choose “ Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname ” (Note:  if you are running an older version of Windows, you may have the below as a drop-down list).

Click “ Next ” at the bottom right

Type the IP Address of the Printer/Copier in the “Hostname or IP address” box, Note: that the Port name should automatically fill with the IP address as you enter it in the Hostname or IP address box. IMPORTANT – Make sure that the "Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use" box is UN-TICKED.

Click Next in the bottom right

Click “Browse” and browse to the folder where you extracted the driver earlier

Within the extracted folder, go into the “disk1” folder and Click on/ highlight the file “OEMSETUP” and click “Open” in the bottom right.

Choose “Ricoh” in the Manufacturer box on the left, then choose your printer model in the ‘Printers’ box on the right and click ‘Next’

Note. If the process asks “ Which version of the driver do you want to use ”, choose “ Replace the current driver ” and click “ Next ” ( Ignore this line if it doesn’t come up ).

Type a printer name in the “ Printer name ” box ( you can call it anything you like – it may be helpful if you’re creating multiple drivers with settings such as Black & White, Thick Paper, etc.). Click “ Next ” in the bottom right.

Decide if you want to share this printer with other computers, if you are sharing this printer, our Ricoh Printer Sharing guide may help. 

Click “Next” in the bottom right.

Tick the box “Set as the default printer” ( un-tick it if you want to keep your current default printer – the printer that windows will pick as default every time you create a new document ). 

You can click “ Print a test page ” to confirm that your printer is installed correctly and printing.

Click “ Finish ” to complete the installation.
