im trying to install a Ricoh SP211 Printer on Ubuntu 15.10.

The howto from: https://github.com/madlynx/ricoh-sp100/blob/master/INSTALL Is helping me but i got stuck there.

When i run ./check-requirements i get:

pbmtojbg     [REQUIRED] : No
identify     [REQUIRED] : Yes, version: Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64 2015-08-06 http://www.imagemagick.org
Ghostscript  [REQUIRED] : Yes, version: 9.16
ps2write     [REQUIRED] : Yes
pbmraw       [REQUIRED] : Yes
inotify-wait [optional] : No

Where do I get the packages ps2write and pgmraw?

By coincidence I found that ps2write is a package containing in imagemagick.

The other 2 I can't find. Come someone help me?

Best regards

Where do I get the packages ps2write and pgmraw?

The program you are trying to install here check for the package called gs (i.e Ghostscript) and if you have installed this (which I can see you already have) you are good to go. You don't have to look for ps2write or pgmraw pacakges.

I see you do not have pbmtojbg (which is in fact not a requirement). But if you want to install this program, you have to install jbigkit-bin after enabling the universe repository.

SP211 driver for linux do exist... search for "sp221 drivers" (221, not 211) and then download and extract the ubuntu drivers from ricoh website (it's an .exe you might need windows to unpack) then install the .deb file, select SP221 in cups and it works like a charm!

As @nasdak said, it works with the sp221 driver. Here's how you do it:

  1. extract the exe --> you'll get a deb --> extract that one as well (with archive manager or something similar). From the extracted:
  2. move the file from data/usr/lib (follow the folder trail) to your cups filter folder (usually /usr/lib/cups/filter)
  3. open cups with a browser (usually http://localhost:631, requires your computer user and pass) --> add printer --> select the ppd from data/user/share...
  4. print

There is a Forked PPA with installation instructions, I have forked it from the original contributor. Hope it helps. https://github.com/biplabro/ricoh-sp100/blob/master/INSTALL

Install required libraries:

sudo apt install jbigkit-bin

and

sudo apt install inotify-tools

I have recently installed the drivers again. Tested & working in Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
