Day 2, again still no printer driver, i have thought i have it sorted so many times. nearly in tears at this stage.
is it possible it is because i have windows vista??? weary, no good on here either, just cant find my way around.:mad:

The earliest website driver on the website is windows 7.

In my opinion, getting yourself a newer system and operating system (look at eBay or FB marketplace and get a win 7,8 or 10 system for £20 to £30) and you're sorted!

My 3110 ran with no problems on Vista before I changed to Win7. I'll dig out the CD that came with the printer and upload the files for you if you want.

Agree with the above posts, I tried looking for a Vista driver for you yesterday and the RICOH support website showed no options for a VISTA drivers. Seems to be Windows 7 on wards. You could trey calling RICOH support to ask them to be sure.

ALex

that would be amazing if you could. im no way technical, love doing my photos and doing up stuff for people, sadly though this would be as easy. use ulead photo express and understand now it wont work in sub printing. tried gimp, thought
i had it but not sure.

Sorry Ben. I've tried umpteen times to upload the files from my Ricoh driver CD onto my server but it's just not having it for some reason. They won't even copy properly to my PC.

All I can suggest is to update your OS or buy a computer with at least Win7 on. This is the message on the Ricoh site:

Discontinuation of Driver and Utility Support for Windows Vista
Support for Windows Vista was discontinued on April 11, 2018.
All Windows Vista drivers have been removed from our download page.
Background: Microsoft has discontinued support of Windows Vista.

Software Geeks are doing windows 7 for £11.19 at the moment.

Bless you, you are so good. friend just offerd me laptop with windows 7, would that do it?? im loath to spend more now i realize it is so iffy. just discovered that ink in printer is dated sept2017 so have to invest in ink next. was a bit silly to think it would all be so easy. but onwards. thanks again for giving up your time. i truly appreciate it

Windows 7 or above should do the trick, It's not going to happen over night but you will get there eventually. It takes a lot hours of learning and testing, Inks papers etc. We all had to start somewhere. You will get there and this forum is the best place you can be for hints and tips. Good luck with your new venture.

where??? Im wondering am i going to have to buy new system at this stage
