Do any of you old-timers remember a thread awhile back regarding units with Fiery Controllers dropping off the network? I did a search and can't find anything. I have an account with two 551's with embedded Fiery Controllers and hates them because he is constantly having to reload drivers when the "drop off the network". I can't remember enough about the topic and can't find it either.

Also, did anyone ever determine definitavely whether the 1055 controller will work with a 551? Or does anyone happen to still have the Ricoh controller for the 551?

I have a $150,000 deal that may hinge on these answers so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if the Print Controller for the AF1055 will work on the 551? Isn't it the same peerless controller that was on the 551? I believe it is. Need to know something fast!!!

I think it will work! The firmware files for both controllers are the same (0.58). I have found one strange bug in the 1055 driver (definitley the driver, not the controller) and used a 700 driver to work around it with no side effects.
I have submitted the bug to Ricoh to see what they say about it. Once I hear from them, I'll post some info on it here.
I'll try to catch a 551 or 700 going through refurb and install one of these on it to see.

Thanks!
