I was looking for private use a multifunction device that could scan in color, to print enough for me black and white. There should also be no inkjets, because I find the pricing policy for replacement cartridges unverschämmt - it seems that there take ink well liquid gold is poured - gasoline, whiskey and champagne are so contrary to ink a real bargain or cheap product.
Have the "Ricoh" been around for 14 days in operation and can only give a thoroughly contented conclusion. Scans good - prints easily and quickly - very good value - Replacement toner very reasonably fair, workmanship fine. The delivery via Beepick (Spanish online retailer) was very fast (4 days total, and a week earlier than announced). One must only have a USB printer cable separately purchase (I have done "fast" at a known media and electric chain "- to smile afterwards more))
Installation:
The installation went smoothly -to replace a defective USB Druckerkabels-. Since, I have at home on a mixed Windows-Linux network at a Fritz box, I tested the "Ricoh" extensively.
Windows 7: Use the installation CD to install simply as an administrator (on the exe. file of the CD with the right mouse button) - follow the instructions of "wizards" (installer) - License Agreement "YES" and to USB Express Installation. Recognition can take some time - do not despair and just wait. If the printer is not operated via a USB port, the standard driver in Win 7 is deposited. Enable network share and DASD's it.
Linux (here UBUNTU): printer was detected automatically - so just poke the plug - that was all that may still enable the network share ;-)
Fritz box: activate the home network / USB remote unit Fritzbox menu - Download program from the AVM side and install - then the "Ricoh" is automatically detected by connecting to the USB port of the Fritz box and serves as a network printer (automatic connection). To scan enable a single connection.
Otherwise, a tip with the same multi-function device in a Berlin retailers cost twice as the Spanish bee sting (! Including 12, - plus shipping costs) - that is a real bargain - Replacement toner cartridge 35, - "double cord" and lasts for 1200-2500 pages!
And you can the device completely by means of real-OFF SWITCH off entirely!
And now a few words about USB printer cables: If the USB cable be broken under Windows 7 the printer is displayed as an unknown USB device - under Linux it shows the Ricog SP112U indeed, but can it (USB Hub) do not respond - with the Fritzbox wanted partout not connect to able to come (no USB detected). Show such error messages or the device can be partout not install - Always try another USB printer cable - saves a lot of unnecessary tests - I speak from experience ;-)
