I'm just finding out that the Type 1027 Print DIMM was discontinued March 31st.
Did anyone get notification of this?

On a seperate but related note...Ricoh has introduced a Print/Scan Kit for the 1022/1027 and the 1035/1045 that includes NIC and 64MB Memory but no reduction in cost from the items purchased seperately. Purchasing the items seperately will eventually not be an option. I get the impression that this is Ricoh's way to force memory at Ricoh's $300 price and eliminate $25 3rd party memory option.

The combination of these two factors has just raised the cost of a 1022 with print only about $800!!!

There is a promotion going until April 30th that temporarily lowers the cost on some items but that doesn't help on GSA/GEM and DMAP.

The Type 1022/1027 Printer/Scanner Kit #001498MIU just showed up on the last Pricing dated Feb 28th and didn't have any kind of explanation. I called Ricoh Customer Service (Lainee Rountree in case she handles your account also) and was given the rundown on the new "Kit" and the fact that the Print DIMMS had been discontinued March 31st without notice.

She volunteered to send me documentation but I haven't seen it yet.
I have a promo cost of $573 for this option. (Print Scan DIMM, Network Card, 64MB RAM). Even if they do raise it to the $855 - after offering it at $573, I would imagine promos would continue or there will be a riot - but at $855 for the package, it is less than the printer only option with the two additional pieces that are necessary anyway (unless you get your memory elsewhere, then it is a little more).
