Multiple Ricoh's

[Andysam26467]

Hi. Does anyone use more than one Ricoh 3110 printer. We use Adobe Illustrator and we have 2 3110's. I would like to use one with A4 paper and the other for Mug sized paper. Is it possible to connect both of these to Illustrator. I use Powerdriver but can only have one instance of Powerdriver in Illustrator.

If you are sending to powerdriver then it would struggle to work out which of the two printers to print from to if they are both plugged in at the same time.

The only solution i can think of would be working off one USB cable being plugged into the pc/laptop and alternate the other end of the USB between the two printers. Both printers would also need to be registered i'd say.

Hi,
I have a Ricoh 7770. The preferences panel allows the choice of printer driver. If I click on the drop-down I am offered the 3 Ricoh 7770 drivers I have in use. In my case all three point to the IP address of my one printer.

It should be possible to have your printers connected at the same time as long as there are two instances of the driver, each going to a different virtual USB port, or IP address if your printers are on a network.
Maybe the 3110 has something similar.

Its very easy to do. I have a different version of Powerdriver to Skye so screenshot of mine below. I suspect Skye is using a more up to date version

Thanks for the replies and advice. I've finally got it all working as per your posts above. I can now simply select the relevant printer from the driver tab in Powerdriver as advised.

Thanks a million.
