​Quote of the Week :smile:

It's almost as if it's deliberate!! But it isn't...

Please note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y4zxcSuwlI

Thanks very much for this pointer to Groupon - I managed to find a £10 off code here https://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/groupon so an amazing bargain now at £20.98 - also went through TCB so could be even cheaper

Hi mousey.
I am also on win 10 and this model definitely works perfectly.
I just held the wifi buy-in on the printer for2 seconds then pressed the wps button on the router to connect them. Then and only then install the software and select install wirelessly. If you install via usb you can't use it wirelessly and would have to uninstall the driver software and start again.

It really is simple if you ignore the instructions.

£27.95 eBay

Just hold down `STOP/START` while turning the printer on, then release and press `JOB RESET` 15 times, then press and hold `WIFI` for 20 seconds while humming God Save The Queen.
Or, take the paper out and turn it over.

Hi. Does anyone know how to turn the print around? It prints face (print) down at the moment.

Thanks, managed to get it working. I had to lug my comp and the printer downstairs to where the BT hub is. It took quite a bit of pressing the buttons, but eventually the circular wi-fi button lit up, still I could only get it installed by the CD. Odd than windows couldn't find it.

Hi tylah3
I am also on win10.
All i did was hold Wi-Fi button on printer for a few seconds then while it's flashing press wps button on router. This may take a few tries until they connect and you get a solid light on the wifi button on the printer. Then and only then install the drivers using the cd. Select install wirelessly option...done.

If you have already installed the driver cd either wirelessly or wired using usb cable uninstall it and start again.

Hth

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this printer set up over wifi. The blue light is lit, but 'printers and setting's in win 10 doesn't find it. If I manually set it up it just says it's offline. AHHHHH!

Oh no!! I was hoping I'd just hit a glitch that would resolve itself, this sounds like a bit of a nightmare.
Our wifi went do-pally overnight last night, so we did the usual turn-off-turn-back-on of the router this morning and everything worked fine again apart from the printer - the wifi button was lit but it just says 'offline'. Messed around for ages with the wps button in the router (don't really understand these things) and eventually gave up, drove 2 miles to work to print my boarding passes out! I was hoping it was just the heat or something, but sounds like maybe more of a problem. Might need to call in someone who u set stands these things when we get back from hols.

Sounds hard!!

If you know the printers ip address and you know how to login to your router, then it's pretty easy to 'reserve' the printers ip address (in the router settings). That may solve the problem.

Mines the same you have to print a test page to get the ip address then put it back in the printer settings ,pain in the a##e something to do with a static ip address , beyond meoO

£27.95 now.

Should connect automatically if it's switched off/on or the router is.

I received mine on Saturday, manged to get it working on Win7 64Pro ViginMedia Router.
48 hours later switched printer on and after 15 seconds blue Wifi = ON, printed a page
perfectly over WiFi. I'm very happy.

In a bit of trouble here

Printer received and (not without some pain) installed via WiFi WPS a couple of days ago. I have now turned it back on (it doesn't seem to turn itself off after prolonged inactivity: mine stayed on all night, so better turn it off manually), but it doesn't automatically connect back to the router via WiFi. On Windows10 it shows as offline. If I press the WiFi button on the printer (which goes on automatically after about 30 seconds) nothing happens: I can't turn WiFi off! I am tempted to send it back, have had wi-fi printers for over 8 years and never had so many issues

Does anyone else have similar problems? Does your printer connect automatically back to the same WiFi network after it's turned off and back on again? Thanks for any useful comment

could not resist... got one on eBay ? £29.95...

TCB not tracked

Anyone else?

Don't know if you've fixed it, but i was having the same problem and solved it fairly easily in the end. When you add the printer make sure you do it via the printers and scanners settings menu, click the + and make sure you use PCL rather than postscript. It seems that if you let OS X add it and choose generic drivers on some systems it defaults to postscript and prints nonsense.

Just got this printer from Amazon.
nvm, found the switch!
Thanks OP :smiley:

Thanks to OP, great buy.

bought!, anyone know of cheap toner replacements?

http://www.ricoh-europe.com/downloads/office-product-downloads.aspx
Search for SP201N and your operating system will autmatically be detected

Got mine yesterday, much easier to set up the wifi than anticipated after reading the reviews :smiley:

Ordered Thursday midday, arrived today (Saturday) 0930. Wi-Fi set up in a jiffy, pleased as punch. Thank you OP

2-3 years one cartridge ! - oh that explains it - they would last even longer if you didn't use at all :smiley:

Anyone found reasonably priced replacement cartridges yet

lol

No, incorrect... yes, uses black toner (hence Mono in OP's title) but not limited to only white paper - can use many other colours of paper ( blues pinks yellows, etc ) :smile: .
Grayscale - varying intensity of black toner ? rather than varying lightness of black toner ?

OK, that's great - seems straightforward. I thought you meant it needed some special instructions.

As an aside, the printer looks huge. I'll need to shuffle a few things around, it fit in the same space as the printer it's replacing.

@ solid.
I just used the driver disk that came with it and I'm on win10.
Hope that helps

I re-read the post & I think you are right. Initially I read it as 'I'm gonna take advantage of the deal', but not tell you about it! That's the cynic in me I guess! Funnily enough, I also thought I could get it for about £23 via a £5 Amazon promotional credit, but that only applied to items fulfilled by Amazon, so didnt work!

Any chance you can share or link to the win10 drivers and instructions please ?

Seems sensible to me - why post something that might not work and just lead to rejected orders. Better to alert people that there may be a better deal and confirm if it works.

​That's the true spirit of HUKD...

Thanks for replying - I did see something in the thread about setting up a print server, but seems a little too complicated for me to try! I don't use the iPad that much so no big deal really - getting nice prints from the PC!
Thanks anyway.

Sadly this printer doesn't support the AirPrint protocol, hence why one has to be reliant on flakey 3rd party apps, as you have discovered. The solution to this, as has been briefly detailed above, is to create an AirPrint server on your network. You will then be able to print from your iPhone/iPad using the native print options, without any need for the Ricoh app.

To do this, you will need to plug it in to a computer - preferably one you leave on permanently - and install an AirPrint server. Or you can use a Raspberry Pi for a very compact solution, as I have done. Simply google '[operating system] AirPrint server'. I appreciate it's not a great solution, but I (like many) already have plenty of tech devices (NAS/Pi) that are left on permanently than this plugs in to, so it's no hardship - and the printer is <£30!

Maximum paper thickness recommended is 105 g/m².

The paper path is U shaped, so will probably struggle with anything thicker.

Could any one lucky enough to have got one of these printers try printing on some reasonably thick card and see how the printer copes?

Would be much appreciated!

There is a way to get this for £23, but will see if the printer arrives before posting

Don't any of these sorts of printers come in black, like everything else? What's up with that.

Thanks. Hopefully will be under £20 by the time we replace it, which could be for a good year or so with light use.

Still using the same starter cartridge on my Dell 1130 after 2/3 years, and 2500-page replacement cartridges for that have gone as low as a tenner on Amazon. Don't print a lot though :wink:

Running my SP201N on Windows 10 just fine. Download the latest drivers and follow the instructions carefully.

The only material the printer can use is black toner and a white page, grayscale is varying lightness of the black toner used :smiley:

I found one on Amazon, 2600 pages for 23 quid. Search for 407254 as it's the high-yield cartridge.

Yes, works well on Mac, I have a few Ricoh's and they all run well on on both macOS, and Windows on the Mac.

Comes with a half volume 700 print starter cartridge - perhaps cost out the replacement cartridges before rushing to buy... seem to be £23 on amazon !

No ... actually ... it also does grayscale:laughing:

Still available for £29.99 on Box_uk eBay store here as per edit in OP :smiley:

Yes i would like to know the same .

Checked on Flubit and got offered £25.12.

Got mine today. Cheapest printer I ever purchased and also one of the best!

It will be used as a backup for my Epson WF-3620 colour printer.

£31.99 now.

This is a great deal, hot!

If you are printing alot, then you are far better offer spending more initially to get a printer which can take a bigger capacity 10,000 page toners as you would save much much more more in the long run,

I get the generic toner replacements for my Bother laser and its only £10 and it prints 10,000 pages, so cost me a fraction compared to this i think it works out 80/90% cheaper 'per page' t

also on eBay for £29.95 over 1000sold

Anyone have any experience of printing on card with these printers? Need to print out some promotional materials but cheap printers often have an issue with this kind of thing. The specs only go up to 105 g/m3 weight but wondered if anyone had tried anything thicker?

Thanks

Cheaper on flubit, £25

what's the the cheapest toner cartridge replacement (ie where you don't have to manually refill with toner)?

Does ricoh smart device app work well with android cloud printing (reviews seem sketchy)?

Cheers ordered.

​I just cover with black tape

Ahhh I see...

Hi has anyone got it working with iOS yet as it's the only thing stopping me buying a couple

I believe the 'standby' mode on these type of devices can be enabled by a small piece of sticky tape.

Haha, worked it out now, have to unclick two little clips on the sides to allow the tray to extend for A4 paper.

For anyone even tempted to read the setup instructions: don't bother. As someone else said try this first:

Turn printer on. Hold down wifi button for 2s. Then go and hold down the WPS button on your router for 2s. Then install disc on your PC. Up and running in about two minutes that way.

Oh and to enable toner save mode go into printer preferences after setup. Then prints pages with about 50% less ink which is fine for some uses.

Anyone know if this printer has any sort of standby mode? Have it up and running and working great, but the blue lights are a bit dazzling. It's in an awkward place so would rather not be turning it on and off at the back all the time.

Welcome to a Post-Brexit Britain.

Where life is no longer what it was 2 weeks ago....

Took the plunge when I realised I missed out on the Groupon (minus £10 discount) offer.

Got it for £27.95 & will use the £5 promo code on something soon!

inkjet cartridge should not and do not dry out due to lack of use in my experience ever. maybe dodgy or cheaper ones do if they have a high water content?

Just setting mine up, the instructions for how to load the paper are mind-boggling.

Just read the thread, pretty sure that's been answered multiple times.

Nope, didn't have time. I read the description on Amazon. Sorry for the repetition but can people confirm that it works with Mac?

Got mine yesterday and can print wirelessly from PCs - great!
However, I want to print from my iPad, so I downloaded the official Ricoh Scan and Print app but when I try to add my device by specifying the IP address (192.168.1.107) it doesn't even search - just get the error "Please check the network connection". Needless-to-say, the wireless network is working fine!
Anyone else tried the Print and Scan app? If you managed to add the printer as a device, how did you do it?
Any help appreciated...

OK, an update ... by pressing the search button repeatedly, and getting several "Please check the network connection" errors, it eventually found the printer! ... so I added to Devices.
Thought that was an end to my problems, but no ... went to try and print a small document (the Clipboard contents) and every time I press "Print" I get the same "Please check the network connection" error".
Thought I'd try the same trick, just keep pressing Print until it does finally print ... but I've tried about 20 times and I just get the same error. Not good at all.

Any help appreciated - did anyone get to print something from their iPad/iPhone?

OK, so I managed to print a picture from my Camera Roll.
Then I tried to print a document from Dropbox - got the document preview, specified the page range I wanted to print but when I hit print .... you guessed it! ... error "Please check the network connection"!

Unless I'm doing something wrong, the app really isn't worth downloading as it is right now - just won't print any documents!
Not good, thought I'd be able to print from iPad, Dropbox etc ...

Anyone managed to get it working?

Have you read the thread?

It seems it doesn't work with Mac, pity.

Yep similar experience with my canon inkjet, and actually never print in colour because the colour cartridge ran out and not missed it at all, so went for this. Like the fact it holds the paper enclosed too, looks really neat hope it performs well.

Got this to replace my old Epson photo printer, we rarely print photos anymore but Im so tired of the Epson as it refuses to print even a letter in black ink if the "light cyan" is empty. Costs a fortune in ink cartridges.

Just advised a few friends to buy it as a backup printer.

Great deal, got the non-wireless version last year. Has been faultless, which is a nice change coming from the world of inkjets!

arrived today wow what a deal. plugged it in, shared it out and away it goes. brilliant. cant believe i have a laser for thirty quid!

Been watching this - couldn't resist any longer - thankyou Op!

I actually put a colour toner in this at work and it printed out full colour in superb detail.

also available with 10 euro credit on amazon.de, may come in handy.

I did this and got £10 & 10 euro credit on the same amazon account, only thing is how do I spend the euro credit? Is there anything on the german site with free international shipping?

Glad that you've got it sorted! The 'First Attempt' option worked for me, but it must be a bit flakey!

To anyone wondering; you don't need an AirPort Extreme to use this with Macs. Just hit the physical WPS button found on most modern routers to pair it, and follow the rest of the instructions.

Right back on the first page of this thread, I posted instructions indicating you needed to choose either Generic PCL/Postscript (either should work), as there is no bespoke driver for this device available. However, it works fine. This is a basic printer without a duplexer or other advanced features, so the generic driver is bearable. The only downside is that you won't be able to view detailed printer status/toner capacity directly via the printer status window. This is easily resolved: just visit the printers web panel. Enter the IP Address of your printer into your favourite web browser, and you will be confronted with a web portal that displays its status. It also enables you to configure any network settings.

Ricoh are clearly dimwits; the printer supports IPP/LPR/RAW printing, so will work on any imaginable platform that supports those protocols. Which, last time I checked, is basically all of them!

Thanks again. When I use the method you mention on my Airport using option 'First Attempt' it just keeps waiting.... So then I tried PIN and entered '0000' and it connected and showed as a Bonjour service in available printers. I added it to my printers list with 'Use Generic' option (it was that or cancel) and tried printing a single page and it once again started the 28 page gobbledegook I mention previously. So, I then deleted it from my printer list and added again this time manually selecting a 'Configure' option which popped-up and I selected 'Generic PCL Printer'. This time when I went to print it printed single page correctly.

So, now successfully set-up on two Macs. :innocent:

Oh! I've also heard back from Ricoh support who sent me a one line reply:

"The SP213W is a Windows only device" :neutral_face:

Well spotted!

Anyone recommend something similar in colour please?

Please note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y4zxcSuwlI

The refill was quite easy, it's just that guy made a hash of it. Back when I bought my refill (this time last year) a compatible toner was around £60 (That's why I went for the refill). That's great to know that the price has dropped massively, these printers must have a decent userbase now for the price to over halve.

Thanks for that link, I'll bookmark it.

Yeah sure- make sure you've held the WPS button on the printer until it flashes as per the instructions. Open Airport Utility on your Mac, select your AirPort, then under Base Station click Add WPS printer. There are two options, one is PIN - can't remember the other one, but choose that.

Thanks - could you tell me how you connect via WPS button with Airport?

Works perfectly in my exclusively Mac environment.

See my comment on the first page.

I suppose you could give the driver package on that page a go. Install via USB and then try WiFi. The reason I mention it, is because if you search the net for 'Ricoh pcl mac drivers' several people mention using these drivers to solve similar printing problems you mentioned.

Refill kits look really messy. Amazon are selling the XXL toners for £24.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Toner-compatible-RICOH-SP200-SP201/dp/B01AJKMA1M

Purchased via Groupon earlier and can confirm only £20.98 was taken from my bank account.

Also received £1.69 cashback bringing the total cost of the printer to £19.29!

Thanks - I can't see anything there that will work but I'll keep looking.

I have managed to get it working on my older Mac but the MacBook Air refuses to install other than via USB.

It's a challenge so for under thirty quid I'll keep at it - I love a challenge :laughing:

Many thanks Glentoran Mark...I'm not great with IT stuff but I'll keep trying but thanks so much for your input,appreciated! Dreadful weather at the moment, hope it gets better!

I don't think Ricoh have released any Mac drivers for this printer. I had an old Samsung printer that was also PCL only, but I installed drivers from the following site and it worked perfectly. It wasn't WiFi though, but you could give it a try…

https://www.openprinting.org/driver/gutenprint/

I've tried two different MacBooks (Air and Pro) and after a lot of messing about have installed printer via IP address when I try to print one page as a test the machine spews out 28 pages of gobbledegook.

Only comes with Windows software and Ricoh website does not list Mac software either.

[Edit] I've tried contacting Ricoh via their website form and repeatedly get Page not found - 404 Error

Are you having those issues on Mac or PC? Maybe you have a defective unit...

Ordered, arrived today:
1. No software for Mac
2. Hit & miss connection via Wi-Fi
3. On occasions printer visible setup virtually impossible
4. Try printing one page and it spews-out dozens of pages of rubbish ... or at least until I delete printer queue

Complete waste of money.

High yield refill kit is £17.99 which does 2600 pages. The £13.99 one does 1500. That's 73% more pages for under 30% more cash, bargain hunters.

Groupon is sold out

​Heres the link for the refill... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311560673761

Thankyou

Search 'ricoh sp213w toner' on ebay. First result £13.99 for the full refill kit.

Any links to the lowest cost source for toner replacements and the refill kits please (£14)?

No and no.

The initial toner is only a couple of hundred pages. The refill is over 1,000. I've refilled once about a year ago and it's still running. Sorry for such a vague answer but I haven't been counting them!

Does it work with apple air and does it have a scanner? Thanks

https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/gg-groupon-goods-global-gmb-h-500-163
I just checked and it seems to have gone to "sold out". It said 180 sold when I placed my order, but now says 190 sold.
Keep checking as it seems to come back into stock regularly. Codes WELCOME (new customers only) or SAVE10 seem to work for £10 off.

I'm a SP201n user and it's been a great purchase. Toner was easy to refill as well. This is a different model but basically the same I would think.

Can't help you with Windows 10, I upgraded painlessly so I can confirm this works under W10 so it's not a Hardware glitch. Try re-installing your drivers is all I can suggest.

Do you have a link pls? I tried searching but looking back in this thread it sold out yesterday?

Hot, cheers op

No scanner. No Apple Air. However, there is a Ricoh app for IOS which allows some printing from phone/tablet.

Just got one for £20.98 via Groupon.

Ordered with Groupon :smiley:

Does it work with apple air and does it have a scanner? Thanks

Do you know how many pages that refill toner will produce? Also, do you have a link? THANKS!

Being totally ignorant of technology - can i print stuff from my mobile with this?

Yes it was and highly probable giving the timing was the end of the financial year!

camelcamel says it was, sounds slightly improbable though

​14.99 for a refill from ebay. also if you run out...why not buy a new printer which comes with a cartridge lol..because i think the genuine refill os 30 quid

I've ordered one of these - would be interested to hear what toners you guys are buying for them, I've had a bit of a look on ebay but not entirely sure what the best is. Hopefully won't need it for a while, but good to have one in hand!

no it was not.

Thank you for posting. Just bought. :smiley:

This printer was for sale in May on Amazon for £11.95!

Ahhh... that's the dealbreaker, we keep the printer out the way in the utility room (hence size isn't a massive problem) but it's miles away from the router and I don't fancy faffing about with cables and stuff to try and get it connected. In that case I'll probably just go for the black and white on on this deal and save my colour printing for when I'm at work. Thanks for the advice!

It is big and heavy, office big. But if you have the space, a great printer. Search eBay for toner refills. And yes, you only replace which ever colour finishes, it uses 4 separate toners. Also, it's not WiFi enabled as such, but it has an Ethernet port, so if you're able to connect it to a nearby router/switch, then you can print to it wirelessly once the wired connection is setup.

Never use WPS, it has security issues!

Thanks, I'll have a look through old threads! I'll check the dimensions, but unless we're talking office photocopier size then I don't think the size should be too much of a problem.
Do you happen to have a link or an idea of where to look for the toners that would be used in this? And am I right in thinking that it will only need to replace the coloured toner that needs replaced, so if I do the majority of the printing in B&W then I'll only need to regularly replace the black toner and the colour ones will last ages?

Ordered Thanks.

Is this printer compatible with iPad 3?

There are several old deals about that colour laser, have a read for lots of good information including running costs. One thing to note, it's huge and very heavy. I have two of them and they are great printers.

I almost went for this, but then came across this colour one that has auto duplex. Any thoughts as to whether it would be as good? Most of our printing could be b&w but colour and duplex are definite advantages. I'm not sure about the replacement toners though, any advice would be appreciated. Never had laser before!!

Hi there, do you know if this work with a mac with OX 10.6.3 ?

Sold out on Groupon - When I bought mine from there it said 60 sold, looks like it finished over 190 sold.
https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/gg-groupon-goods-global-gmb-h-500-163

Where is it on Groupon?

can anybody recommend any cheap toners for this printer?

Amazing printer.. excellent value for money. Ive had this for 2 weeks no problems at all and running perfectly on windows 10

I have been using refill kits for years, on various printers and never had a problem. Take your time, it can be a little messy if you try to rush it, but always seems to work just as well as the original supplied toner. But yes, a printer with cheap replacement toners (complete units) is probably a better option.

I was emailed an invoice from Groupon later last night that showed the full price but they have just told me on live chat that invoices always show the full price and the discount code was applied.
All sold out on Groupon now

I tried this for a HP laser printer I had a few years ago, and it honestly is not worth the effort. First of all I managed to spill the toner everywhere, it took a few hours to do, and finally when printing with the refilled cartridge it had lines on the print. I now have a Dell colour laser which costs £18 for a full set of toners.

Bought one good printer, it prints double sided very fast,just wonder about its power consumption.

Bought one of these in another deal some time ago.
Fantastic bit of kit for the price.

​Quote of the Week :smile:

It's almost as if it's deliberate!! But it isn't...

Thanks...orderd

Thanks OP, looking for one .. ordered

Is this compatible, out of the box, with Mac OS X?

The mobile app mentioned in the description does allow some printing from iOS. Not ideal - but better than a poke in the eye.

Sounds but of a faff to use the wifi to iOS otherwise I would of snapped one up.

Color No

Follow this and then this - takes about 20 minutes! This works for both USB connections and printers that are already networked via ethernet or wireless - just jump to the step installing samba if your printer is networked.

Great printer. Also got the Network/scanner/Fax version (SP 204SFN). Brought replacement toner/chip off Ebay for around £15. Absolute bargain at this price.

Hot, I would buy if I could.

Just checked mine, both paypal and groupon showing at the discounted price.

Cheers op. Heat added, just in time as my Hp inkjet has just died and the ink was stupidly expensive!

Same, need to check my statement to verify amount taken but Topcashback tracked on the amount of £20.98 for £1.69.

That seems strange - mine showed the voucher was deducted after I applied it and the total was £20.98 - paid by credit card so will check the amount charged in the next day or two

Do you have a step by step guide how to go about it?

Might be worth adding that if you want AirPrint support, I've just set up my raspberry pi to be an AirPrint server in 20 minutes and it works beautifully!

Purchased through groupon and used the £10 off voucher but got charged full price. Paid with paypal

Don't groupon take a 50% cut of commission? If so, whoever is selling it will probably be making a loss.

Just ordered through Groupon!

Sorry to point this out now but I just realised you may be able to get £6 Groupon credit by referring another email address https://www.groupon.co.uk/visitor_referral/raf

hmm just signed up with a different email address and used the SAVE10 code. hopefully they don't realise i'm already a member and try and claw it back...

Yes, it's a new customer code but no reason why you can't set up another account for another family member or yourself with a different email address?. I have ordered two on different accounts - the code didn't work initially on the second order but I went back through the myvouchercodes link and and generated a different code, one of them was 97KKATVE

yes make a new account with different email

Hi, do you know if it is Apple ready? Thx

Groupon code not working for me, is it just for new customers?

Will this air print from an iOS device if on same network ?

I think the point the person who replied to you was making, is that if the double sided printing isn't 'automatic', then it's not really duplex.

Good deal, but like someone else, managed to order through groupon with £10 discount.

The code is K28ULW4F

It ends today and gives £10 off

I just used it and bought this printer for the £20.98 stated above

I paid via Paypal but it went back to the Groupon Ricoh 213w £30 page with a message that the payment had failed.
I checked my email and I had in fact successfully sent a Paypal payment to Groupon for the £20.98

The order also shows in my Groupon account

Thanks to all

Duplex printing is a feature of some computer printers and multifunction printers (MFPs) that allows the printing of a sheet of paper on both sides. Print devices without this capability can only print on a single side of paper, sometimes called single-sided printing or simplex printing

Wiki-quote, so not sure how accurate this description is

So its not duplex

Is this a duplex capable printer?

Looks like It is
"Easy-to-use, WiFi-ready, A4 black & white printer. ... The SP 213w is an A4 black-and- white printer that will fit perfectly on your desktop. ... Offering standard WiFi, manual double-sided printing, an embedded paper tray and an all-in-one print cartridge, the SP 213w is ideal for small"

Do you have a link to the code please?

Thanks very much for this pointer to Groupon - I managed to find a £10 off code here https://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/groupon so an amazing bargain now at £20.98 - also went through TCB so could be even cheaper

I'm replying to your assumption that the page/paper is white. Not always was my reply ie. you might not get any white on a page at all.

How tall are they? It says 16.5cm on Amazon, but I've only got a 16cm spot on my shelf :smile:

In the case of this deal most definitely the page is white and the printer only prints black.

There are printers that can print white, they're rare for consumer printers, anyway not this printer, it has black toner which prints black, it definitely can't print white and that's all that needs to be said on this matter.

Not always.

No its black only. The page is white! Lol

Awesome printers. Have 2 now. Cheap to refill yourself (bit messy mind...) and the start toner lasted a year for me!

​Its black only.... the white comes from the paper used......

purchased, cheers

Not of this one in particular, but the Ricoh SPC-240DN is around £45 (posted on here several times) but is physically huge compared to the one in this deal.

I was just about to ask this

I've only ever bought directly from Amazon not from sellers or shops within. Do you have the same customer services/returns policy etc

does this has to be in same WiFi network or it can be printed globally? like printer in UK but someone from France print as well?

Is there a colour version of this? Thanks

Is it black and white only?

Looks good - no AirPrint but the Ricoh iOS app looks solid. Might pick one up. :smile:

This is a great printer. Got it 2 months ago.
Text is crisp, and it's a laser printer for under £30!
Never will you stick with inkjet again.
Only B&W though.

Oh, thank-you so much for this, appreciate you taking the effort to help me! Thanks again!

Is this the best printer for fast black only wireless? Anyone got a link for toners?

I sometimes reuse the paper the other side as they are only used for ups labels is this easy enough to do? Or do you have to open paper tray and reload it? Is there another tray?

Agree a great printer - have one at moment but recently changed my laptop which has windows 10 system which is not compatible with this printer, I was windows vista before - unless I'm doing something wrong - any advice appreciated!
Ops, sorry just checked mine is the SP201N

Works fine with OS X despite Amazon comments;

Connect to Wifi (hold WPS button as above)
Auto displays as network printer (generic postscript/Pcl) in printer settings.
No need for software

Or via usb; plug in cable. Done

Only got 260 pages out of my starter toner however! (Predominantly double spaced text as well!)

Available at Groupon for £30.98 with 8.4% Topcashback, so after £2.60 TCB it's £28.38. As we all know, cashback is never guaranteed, but I've never had Groupon declined.
Bear in mind it comes with a 700 page starter toner cartridge, but still a great deal for what should be a cheap to run mono printer :smiley:

Hi Marioman.
Yes it's a mono printer.
Black & white only

Hi mousey.
I am also on win 10 and this model definitely works perfectly.
I just held the wifi buy-in on the printer for2 seconds then pressed the wps button on the router to connect them. Then and only then install the software and select install wirelessly. If you install via usb you can't use it wirelessly and would have to uninstall the driver software and start again.

It really is simple if you ignore the instructions.

Do you think it's worth me waiting until prime day to see if it goes down more?

I bought this printer a couple of weeks ago from seller zila (a few pence more than this deal) and think it's great.

Just set it up on wi fi by pairing it with the wps button on the router then install using disk....simples.

Prints beautifully and no more dried out inkjet cartridges do to lack of use.
