Lanier Ld160c Driver For Mac
Our church has a Lanier LD160C set up on a LAN. When printing a 11x17 document, duplex print, and requesting multiple copies on the print job, the print job goes through to the Lanier, but it only prints out one page (on both sides), and stops. Error logs on the Lanier show nothing, and the print que on the Windows 7 workstation shows that the print job completed.
We have tried this from two different work stations with the same results. The copier technician was in yesterday to work on the machine. Prior to that, there was no problem with printing this same document at 300 to 400 copies. He's due to be back in again tomorrow morning to look at it, but while talking to him on the phone, he has no idea what it might be.
I am the IT guy for the church, and I'm quite knowledgeable regarding computers and networks, but have little experience with multi-function copiers, outside of setting the IP address on the copier and installing the drivers on the work stations. Anyone out there run into something similar, or have advice on where to start trouble shooting? What emulation are you using (PostScript or PCL XL)? I've had booklet function conflicts between MS Publisher 2003 and the driver. In that particular situation I downgraded the driver to the next older version. =^.^= I have the PCL5 drivers installed.
According to the copier tech, this model does not have postscript installed. That's another issue I'm trying to work around, as we have one Pastor that insists on using a Mac, and we had to buy a printer for him to use with it, as I couldn't get it to print to the Lanier. I've read somewhere about open source alternatives for printing on Lion, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Let us know what you and the tech find out. Publisher has always been a trouble source for printing.
Jul 19, 2016 - 1.1.1 pxlmono 1.9 for Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) - Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mountain Lion). 1.1.4 pxlmono 1.5 for Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). All printers supported by the following OpenPrinting drivers are. Lanier LD160c.
A couple of other things to try: 1. Make sure that the Lanier is set as the default printer on the computer. If the file that's giving problems was made with another printer as its default, create a new file after changing the default printer and then copy and paste the contents of the original file over. I've seen (mainly in older versions of Publisher) where the default values for the file would be based on the default printer that the computer had when the job was created.
Try using the RPCS driver instead of PCL 5c. It's Ricoh's own driver for the machine so there are a lot more fine tuned options available for the machine and often the output is much better than what you get from PCL. I always recommend it to my customers if the driver is available for their model. Send the job with all of the settings and then pause it in the queue before it finishes. Then take a look at the properties by right clicking on the job. There may be something that's getting changed somewhere in the processing. Also make sure that your printer port is set to LPR which the queue name 'lp'.
In training Ricoh always recommended setting up the machines for LPR printing and I've never seen it cause an issue. Is the computer printing directly to the copier, or is there a print server? As for the Mac, don't even bother with looking at other solutions beyond PostScript.
This means, that appropriate driver for Lanier LD160c is not installed or corrupted. This can be easily fixed by using driver update tool or by updating drivers manually. Download appropriate driver for Lanier LD160c for your operating system from our website. PPD files for Lanier's PostScript printers, supplied by Ricoh Supplier: Ricoh (printer manufacturer) License: MIT (free software, show license text). User support.
Mac OS X uses CUPS as its print processor, which is built off PostScript. There are other drivers available that will emulate a PCL device, but I have yet to really see those work with colour machines or give you the full range of options that the machine is capable of.

Welcome to Gutenprint 5.2.6, a stable release of Gutenprint 5.2. This release has bug fixes, support for additional printers, and a few new features over 5.2.6.
Gutenprint will run on any reasonably modern computer running Linux, Macintosh OS X (10.3 or above), Solaris, or any other UNIX-like operating system. Fusionhdtv dvb-t plus drivers for mac. If you plan to compile this package from source, you will also need an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc (recommended). A compiler is not required if you are installing a pre-compiled package. A package for Macintosh OS X will follow shortly. We advise Macintosh users to wait for that package rather than attempt to compile from source. Changes from 5.2.5 1) New printers supported in this release: - Canon inkjet printers: Canon PIXMA MP360 Canon PIXMA MP370 Canon PIXMA MP390 Canon PIXMA MP510 Canon PIXMA MP970 - Epson inkjet printers: EPSON Artisan 50 EPSON EP-302 EPSON EP-702A EPSON Stylus Photo P50 EPSON Stylus Pro 3800 (EXPERIMENTAL) EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 (EXPERIMENTAL) EPSON Stylus Pro 4800 EPSON Stylus Pro 4880 EPSON Stylus Pro 11800 EPSON Stylus T59 EPSON Stylus T60 EPSON Stylus TX659 NOTE: The support for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880 is experimental and WILL CHANGE SUBSTANTIALLY in future releases. It should not be considered suitable for production use at this time.
Gutenprint 5.2.6-rc1 is a prerelease of Gutenprint 5.2.6. This release primarily features support for the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 thanks to Lutz Sammer and David Stone, but the changes for that printer may impact other printers. I'm also hoping that this will work for the Stylus Pro 3880 (and 3800) - those printers are entry level professional grade printers featuring 17' wide support at a reasonable price point. We would particularly like people to test the following:. Epson Stylus Color: test black and white mode at all resolutions (use defaults for other settings). Epson Stylus Color 3000, Stylus Color 440: test black and white at resolutions 360x90, 180, 360x180, and 360 MicroWeave (360x90 isn't available on the SC3000).
Also, test Quality settings of Fast Economy, Economy, and Draft. Epson Stylus Pro 7600, 7800, 7880, 9600, 9800, 9880, 11800, 11880: - Test for correct functionality and output in general at different resolutions.
Test black and white with Ink Types of Three Color Composite, Four Color Standard, Five Color Photo Composite, and Six Color Photo. Test full bleed in both color and black and white mode, and specifically check horizontal positioning of the output with and without the patch. Epson Stylus Pro 3880: test that the printer functions correctly and produces good output using the Stylus Pro 4880 driver (obviously roll feed functionality won't work).
Epson Stylus Pro 3800: test that the printer functions correctly and produces good output using the Stylus Pro 4800 driver (obviously roll feed functionality won't work). The source code for Gutenprint 5.2.6-rc1 may be downloaded from. If anyone would like a Macintosh image for this, please let us know, but I can't promise on Matt's behalf.

A Mac OS X installer for Gutenprint 5.2.3 is now available. This release is a Universal Binary and contains all the enhancements and support for additional printers detailed in the Gutenprint 5.2.3 announcement.
The Mac OS X installer changed slightly beginning with Gutenprint 5.2.2. Users wishing to downgrade to an earlier version of Gutenprint will now need to run the supplied uninstaller first. Testing has shown that some versions the Mac OS X Installer application do not handle downgrades properly. The end result was that the end user's installation of Gutenprint could become non-functional. As a reminder, the URL for the home page for Gutenprint for Mac OS X has recently changed.
The new URL is. Gutenprint 5.2.3 is a stable release. It has a number of bug fixes over 5.2.2 that mostly affect CUPS internationalization and a number of Epson and Canon printers. It may be downloaded directly from. Changes from 5.2.2 1) CUPS PPD files in non-English locales are now generated correctly when the CUPS driver interface is used (with CUPS 1.2 and above). 2) Epson inkjet printers that support duplex printing now use less restrictive margins (allowing use of more of the page) when duplex printing is not used. I have packaged the new Gutenprint release as distribution-independent LSB package now and uploaded it to OpenPrinting.
The packages and instructions on how to install them you find on: The source RPM is here There are no source files for the Debian packages, as they are converted from the RPMs with alien. The package can be installed without uninstalling the Gutenprint provided by the Linux distribution. Besides the update to the new release fixes were done to assure that queues with simplified PPDs will not be upgraded to expert PPDs when installing the package. The PPDs of all Gutenprint queues will be replaced by their counterparts of Gutenprint 5.2.2. In printer setup tools choose the OpenPrinting driver by selecting the PPD/driver entry which mentions 'OpenPrinting'. Note that the package does not include the plug-in for the GIMP. A Mac OS X installer for Gutenprint 5.2.2 is now available.

Gutenprint 5.2.2 is a bugfix release of Gutenprint 5.2. It contains fixes for a number of Epson inkjet printers and multi-function devices as described below, an Italian translation, and a few build fixes. These fixes are important if you use one of the printers listed below, but are not necessary otherwise.
A Macintosh binary release will be available shortly. Changes from 5.2.1 1) Printing at standard and draft quality to a number of Epson multi-function devices has been corrected.
The printers that have been corrected are: EPSON Stylus CX4100 EPSON Stylus CX4200 EPSON Stylus CX4700 EPSON Stylus CX4800 EPSON Stylus CX5700 EPSON Stylus CX5800 EPSON Stylus CX7700 EPSON Stylus CX7800 EPSON Stylus DX4200 EPSON Stylus DX4250 EPSON Stylus DX4800 EPSON Stylus DX4850 EPSON PX A650 2) Printing at standard and draft quality to the Epson Stylus Photo R1900 has been corrected. 3) Printing to the Epson Artisan 700, Artisan 800, Stylus Photo TX700W, Stylus Photo TX800W, Stylus PX700FW, Stylus PX800FW, EP-801A, EP-901A, and EP-901F is believed to be corrected based on updated specifications. The printers have not been tuned and are still considered experimental. 4) An Italian translation has been added.
5) Builds using the VPATH feature, allowing building outside of the source tree, have been fixed. This has no user-visible implications, but it may have implications to distributors building Gutenprint.

This release is a Universal Binary and contains all the enhancements and support for additional printers detailed in the Gutenprint 5.2.0-rc1 announcement. The release also contains an updated Mac OS X uninstaller (also available as a separate download). The uninstaller will now show the confirmation dialog for user of Mac OS X 10.5.4 and later. The URL for the home page for Gutenprint for Mac OS X has recently changed. The new URL is. The Gutenprint project is pleased to announce the release of Gutenprint 5.2.1, the first stable 5.2 release.
Gutenprint 5.2 offers a number of significant enhancements and fixes over 5.0. A few of the key user-visible enhancements include:. Support for additional printers. Currently, Gutenprint supports over 1400 dye sublimation, inkjet, and laser printers.
The CUPS interface has been updated, with new features such as globalized PPD files, improved upgrade facilities, and many fixes. Output quality and speed has been greatly improved for many Epson and Canon inkjet printers.
Gutenprint 5.2.1 may be downloaded from our web site,. Full information on this release may be found at, and it may be downloaded from.

Gutenprint 5.2.0-rc1 is a release candidate for Gutenprint 5.2. It is not the 5.2 release, but there will be little or no difference from that release, which will be numbered 5.2.1. Gutenprint 5.2.0-rc1 may be downloaded from. Both a source package and a Macintosh OS X universal binary (for OS X 10.3 and higher) are available. Or, you may visit our home page at. Note that as of Gutenprint 5.2, OS X 10.2 is no longer supported.
Changes from 5.2.0-beta4 1) cups-genppdupdate now preserves the language of the original PPD file, even if the PPD file is being converted to a globalized PPD file. This enables use of cups-genppdupdate -loriginal to restore the previous language of the PPD file. Note that cups-genppdupdate -l changes the stored language of the PPD file. 2) The CUPS driver correctly prints page sizes larger than letter on PCL printers (this was broken in 5.2.0-beta4 only). 3) The CD position on the R1900 has been corrected.
4) Printing on the Epson Stylus DX8400/DX8450 has been corrected (the CX8400 was corrected in the previous release). Previously, these printers fed paper endlessly without printing. 5) The user manual has been updated. 6) Color and tonal correctness at low and medium resolutions has been fixed on many Epson Stylus multi-function devices, including Stylus CX3500, Stylus CX3600, Stylus CX3650, Stylus CX5100, Stylus CX4200, Stylus CX4500, Stylus CX4600, Stylus CX4700, Stylus CX4800, Stylus CX4900, Stylus CX5000, Stylus CX5000F, Stylus CX5700, Stylus CX5800, Stylus CX6000, Stylus CX7000F, Stylus CX7800, Stylus CX8300, Stylus CX8400, Stylus CX9400, Stylus DX4200, Stylus DX4250, Stylus DX4800, Stylus DX7000F, Stylus DX8400, Stylus DX8450, PX A650 This issue affected printing at 720 DPI and below. This issue was fixed for the Stylus CX7400, Stylus DX7400, and Stylus DX7450 in Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4, but not on other printers at that time.
Since then, we have determined that the same fix is needed on these printers. Output will be quite grainy at these resolutions, but colors will be correct.

Project lead for Gutenprint - 'Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works.' -Eric Crampton. A Mac OS X installer for Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4 is now available. This release is a Universal Binary and contains all the bug fixes, additional features, and support for additional printers detailed in the Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4 announcement. The most noteworthy items for Mac OS X users are: 1. Gutenprint 5.2 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.2; it now requires 10.3 (Panther) or higher.
This is due to a new library requirement (for the iconv library) that is not present in 10.2. Included in this release is a work around for certain applications (most notably Microsoft Office) that did not print correctly on printers capable of high resolution, due to inability to handle the specified resolutions. PPD files are now globalized. They include, by default, all localizations in a single file.
The translations will only appear for Mac OS X 10.5. An updated uninstaller (v1.2.3) is also included. The uninstaller has also been released as a separate download. The updated uninstaller accommodates the Gutenprint 5.2.x versioning.
A bug that would not remove certain Gutenprint 5.0.0-beta2 installations has been fixed. Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4 is the last planned beta release of Gutenprint 5.2. We expect to release a release candidate around September 15 and the 5.2 stable release, which will be named 5.2.1, around October 1. Welcome to Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4! Please read these release notes carefully.
Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh OS X (10.3 and above) systems.
Gutenprint includes CUPS and Foomatic drivers, and an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution. Gutenprint 5.2 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.2. Gutenprint currently supports over 1300 printer models. Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4 is the final planned beta release of Gutenprint 5.2. NOTE TO PACKAGERS: Please read the file README.package for issues that are of interest to distributors and packagers of Gutenprint. It is not necessary for end users of Gutenprint to read this file.
CHANGES FROM GUTENPRINT 5.2.0-BETA3: 1) Gutenprint 5.2 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.2; it now requires 10.3 (Panther) or higher. This is due to a new library requirement (for the iconv library) that is not present in 10.2. 2) New printers supported in this release: - Epson inkjet printers: B-300 B-308 B-500DN B-508DN Offirio PX-B300 Offirio PX-B500 Stylus CX5500 Stylus Photo R1900 (preliminary, further tuning may be performed) Stylus Pro 7800 (experimental) Stylus Pro 7880 (experimental) Stylus Pro 9800 (experimental) Stylus Pro 9880 (experimental) Stylus Pro 11880 (experimental) 3) The CUPS driver will no longer attempt to find a matching predefined page size when a custom page size is passed in. This yields more accurate printing sizes for custom paper sizes.
In addition, it avoids a problem with unnecessary margins being imposed when the paper size is approximately 4.7x6.8' (120x173 mm) due to a specific defined page size with those dimensions and tear-off borders. The Foomatic/IJS driver has been partially fixed; it will only attempt to find a precise match. We are investigating whether it is possible to completely fix this driver. 4) PPD files generated by cups-genppd and the CUPS driver interface (gutenprint.5.2) now include, by default, all localizations in a single file. This is referred to as 'globalized PPD files'. This functionality is supported by CUPS 1.2 and higher.
Single-language PPD files are still generated on request, or if CUPS 1.1 is in use. Cups-genppdupdate will normally upgrade all PPD files to globalized ones if CUPS 1.2 or higher is in use or if pregenerated PPD files are used, but will otherwise generate single-language files. This behavior can be controlled as follows: - If -l is passed to cups-genppdupdate, it will be honored no matter what release of Gutenprint is in use. This may be used if applications have issues with globalized PPD files. We would like reports of any such applications. The list of languages accepted is as follows: C English (US) cs Czech da Danish de German el Greek enGB English (UK) es Spanish fr French hu Hungarian ja Japanese nb Norwegian nl Dutch pl Polish pt Portuguese sk Slovak sv Swedish zhTW Simplified Chinese - If -loriginal is passed, the original language of the PPD file will be honored.
If no -l option is passed, the original language will be honored if -r5.0 or -r5.1 is passed (i. If cups-genppdupdate is used to downgrade to an older version of Gutenprint), or if CUPS 1.1 is in used. A new configure option -enable-globalized-cups-ppds (or if not desired, -disable-globalized-cups-ppds) has been added to enable or disable pre-generating globalized PPD files. This option is only used if -enable-cups-ppds is set. It defaults to 'yes' if CUPS 1.2 or above is in use or 'no' if CUPS 1.1 is in use.
5) The CUPS driver is now localized using built-in code, hopefully eliminating problems with PPD files not always being translated properly. 6) Progress and error messages produced by the CUPS raster driver are now localized. 7) The data in the Epson driver that was not converted to external data files in Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3 has now been converted to external data files in XML format. While this should yield no user-visible change, these changes are extensive. Please report any issues. 8) The CUPS driver now provides an Output Order option, where appropriate, in all cases.
This worked prior to 5.2.0-beta3 and was broken in that release only. 9) The Danish and Dutch translations have been updated. 10) Borderless support has been added to the Epson Stylus Pro 7600/9600 and the margins have been corrected. 11) Quality presets have been added to the PCL (HP printers and laser printers).
12) Certain legacy applications (most notably Microsoft Office) did not print correctly on printers capable of high resolution, due to inability to handle the specified resolutions. This release works around that issue by not advertising very high resolutions in a way that these applications will fail on. 13) Print quality has been improved on Epson PictureMate printers with 4-color inks.
14) Print quality has been improved on the Epson B-300 and related printers. 15) Print quality has been improved in borderless mode on a large number of Epson photo-oriented inkjet printers. The specific issue is that print faded near the bottom of the page when using borderless mode. 16) Printing has been corrected in borderless mode on the Epson Stylus C110 and C120 printers.
The specific issue is that printing near the bottom of the page was compressed vertically. This problem is related to, but not identical to, the previous issue.
17) Print quality has been improved at very high resolutions (resolution settings of 2880x2880 and 5760x2880 DPI, or quality settings of Ultra Photo or Best when high quality photo papers are in use) on a large number of Epson photo-oriented inkjet printers. The specific issue is that print showed fine lines (without actually fading) near the bottom of the page. This issue was present in both borderless and non-borderless printing. 18) The GIMP plugin now offers additional options for certain printers. 19) Color Correction is now shown on the basic output adjustment menu rather than the advanced menu.
20) Epson printers will now correctly handle color output if quadtone inks are in use by printing in grayscale even though color is specified. 21) The Epson Stylus Photo R800 now works properly. It was broken in 5.2.0-beta2 and would not print at all. 22) The Epson Stylus CX8300 and CX8400 now print correctly, although the colors may be retuned before final release.
23) Additional resolutions of 360 DPI Enhanced, 720x360 DPI Enhanced, and 720 DPI High Quality have been added for the Epson Stylus C110 and C120 to reduce banding at the expense of some output performance. These offer improvements primarily for grayscale output. 24) A problem whereby the CUPS driver could consume excessive amounts of CPU and generate no output with Epson PictureMate and E-series compact photo printers has been fixed. 25) The Epson Stylus CX7400, DX7400, and DX7450 now print correctly at all resolutions. Previously, printing at 720x360 DPI or below was incorrect. Output will be rather grainy. 26) The PostScript driver now correctly handles certain PPD files that were not correctly handled in recent releases.
27) The PostScript driver now provides default page sizes of Letter, A4, and Custom in the event that no PPD file is provided.

A Mac OS X installer for Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3 is now available. This release is a Universal Binary and contains all the bug fixes, additional features, and support for additional printers detailed in the Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3 announcement.
Macintosh users of OS X 10.4.x and later may notice a slightly different color output beginning with this release. All printer PPDs now specify the use of the sRGB and the Generic CMYK color profiles rather than having the system use default color profiles. Also included in this release is an updated 'Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers' and the Mac OS X uninstaller. The 'Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers' is a text based interface to the command line escputil. Mac OS X users can now simply double click on this wrapper shell script and be lead through the process of running a nozzle check, cleaning the heads, and aligning the heads for those EPSON printers supported by the Gutenprint drivers. Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. Welcome to Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3!
Please read these release notes carefully. Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others.

These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh OS X (10.2 and above) systems. Gutenprint includes CUPS and Foomatic drivers, and an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.
Gutenprint currently supports over 1300 printer models. Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3 is the third beta release of Gutenprint 5.2. NOTE TO PACKAGERS: This is a beta release of the forthcoming 5.2 stable release. As of 5.2 and until further notice, Gutenprint will no longer deliver separate 'development' and 'stable' release series. The point release will be advanced between beta/RC releases and stable releases. The first stable release of 5.2 will be numbered 5.2.1; the betas and release candidates will be numbered 5.2.0-betaN or 5.2.0-rcN.

Any betas for the next stable release will be numbered 5.2.2-betaN; the next stable release will be numbered 5.2.3 (if there are beta or release candidate builds) or 5.2.2 (if there are not). This ensures that the highest numbered release is always the most current, and that there will be no confusion between beta releases and stable releases. Our experience with 5.0 was that many users continued to use beta releases of 5.2 even after 5.2.0 was released, and worse, in some cases referred to 5.2 beta releases as '5.2.0'.
We believe that the numbering scheme described above will avoid that problem.

Find links to the packages and to instructions on the following pages: The printer lists on these pages are also updated to the state of the appropriate driver version. With these packages you can easily install the newest Gutenprint, without needing to compile. So you can easily try out a new Gutenprint version, and stay with it it if it improves your printing. Note also that these packages do not contain the plug-in for the GIMP and also not the IJS driver.
Please report your experience with these packages here, Thanks. Till - - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
