Printing with SP-213w

  • 772

I have a Ricoh SP 213w printer, connected to my machine with a cable. I am on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 64-bit

When I print PDF, sometimes it works. Sometimes it prints out garbage.

How could I make it consistently print a PDF correctly, rather than garbage (attached)

  1. It could be because you are using the Generic PCL 3 printer driver. Try changing that to the Generic PCL 6/PCL XL.

    That's the one that's recommended, and I can confirm it works fine for me.
