There are a couple of things I don't like about how Konica Minolta does things, but that's more a personal preference than a "Makes-No-Sense-Whatsoever" or "Mess-Over-The-Dealer" problem. Konica makes us switch regions every year, which means we have to get used to an entire new set of sales managers and administrative people. But, once we know who they are, things are fine. There's a West Coast-based dealer on this board who has issues with Konica's service support, but I've never heard of any

Art Post (Guest) ·
By Kurt Erickson kurt.erickson@lee.net SPRINGFIELD -- State officials are considering legal action after discovering something fishy about 315 “new” copy machines purchased from a New York company last spring. According to records, it appears as if the state believes the copiers actually were refurbished, rather than new. The hit on taxpayers after the transaction with Brooklyn, New York-based M&M Computers is pegged at an estimated $165,217. The copiers, which had been targeted for use at the

service on this unit. It took a month of me begging and pleading with I-don't-know-how-many different Ricoh staff members to get an answer. If a dealer hired sales and admin staff who didn't know their own contracts, those people would be out the door immediately. At the same time, I've got three different other Ricoh admin staff people calling me for the install date and meter read. Why does Ricoh need to spend so much money on redundant salaries - nobody is talking to each other and all three

SNMP connection between the Client PC and Server PC is blocked. Just turn off the firewall on the server PC, or have the IT guy allow an exception for port 161. You can still print from the Client PC, even if you get the SNMP message, just can't be certain whether the plotter is on line and ready.

I've already opened all the ports in the windows firewall that ricoh uses and have even turned the firewall off. Still No good.I've had this on a couple of installs and using the ip address instead of the hostname worked but not this time. I wonder if reloading the plotbase is in order?

Re: Enable right click on websites

My favorite way around this: Print the web page as a pdf. Open the new pdf file in Acrobat or Reader and copy the image. Open Paint or your favorite image editor, and paste into a new image file. (Or paste directly into Word if you prefer.) (You might lose a little bit in image quality depending on your Distiller settings, but it's a quick way to git 'er done.) But, Art, I will hang on to your tip because it's always handy to have more than one way to skin the proverbial web designer ... Thanks!
