First Look New Ricoh MPC2801_3301

We tried to order a Lanier LD533c (MP C3300) and were told that that the product has been discontinued.

Has anyone seen pricing on the new models and Lanier model #'s for this series? The order was placed 2 weeks ago, and Ricoh just now told us that we can't get the product. As you can imagine, the customer is getting antsy, but we can't even re-sign the lease for the new model since Ricoh says info will be released this Friday.

I doubt the cost will be higher, however..... ya never know, probably best to tell the customer they are getting the latest and greatest if they can be patient for a few more days or maybe Ricoh will step up to plate and give you an MPC4000 at the same price, I've seen it done before. Call your DSM and

That's exactly the approach we took, and it seems the customer is willing to step up to the 40ppm. I just wonder if we will hear the same story when we order a 40ppm.

The 40ppm is slated for a refresh this month also.

I noticed that earlier on the Ricoh Japan site.

FAQ's attached.

Receiving a MP C3001 tomorrow
Anyone seen it yet?

I'll have my first intro to the 4501c on tuesday, Ricoh was out of mpc4000s and shipped the 4501c.

I set up two C4501s this week. This law office has two workstations that are Win7 pro 64 bit. The rest are XP. There are no cotton-pickin drivers for this series on Ricohs site. And the C5501 isnt even listed. I'm going back today and will try the Univeral print Driver (64bit). I have never used it before.

Dude, that Universal print driver worked like a charm. Looks just like the PCL 6. I usually install the 5c but these machines are replacing two C6501's that are off lease and they are used to the PCL6.
Also I got an email from Ricoh support in answer to the lack of drivers question. They pointed me to Ricoh-AP.com (Asia Pacific) and all the drivers are there.
Nice save, Ricoh.

Sounds good. Havent tried the Ricoh UPD yet, HP's upd sucks...
