Manually install printers

For Windows users only

Automatic stapling (and sometimes double-sided printing) was found to be unavailable when installing the printers from the PaperCut Print Deploy Tool client. If you encounter these issues, manually install the printers by following the steps below:

Download the print driver from Ricoh or HP. Print drivers are found under "General print guide" found here (e.g. Ricoh Aficio SP C830DN for slick-brcfirstfloorcolour).

  • For Ricoh:
    • In “Search for equipment downloads” enter the printer model (e.g. IM C####)
    • Select “Drivers IM C####”
    • Click “I Agree” to Software License Agreement
    • Choose the correct Operating System (Windows 11)
    • Click “Download” for PCL 6 Driver and extract from your Downloads folder

Search Control Panel in the Windows Search bar, in Programs & Features select Turn Windows features on or off (on the left panel).
Scroll down to Print and Document Services and check LPR Port Monitor, press OK and close the window.
