    want to buy a docucolor 242, or 252 or 260

    There is a touchscreen thing offered as a part. about $350 I think, you will also need a tech to do the job, the part looks very fragile... I mean the job is just bunch of screws and connectors but still let a tech do it is highly recommended.

    B/W Digital Copiers - km951/1051 vs Ricoh Pro 1107EX

    Yes, 100% correct, if you run coated, airfeed deck is the must. Otherwise you have a loooong road of experimenting which stock works better, those that work with friction fed systems will be the most expensive ones :) Like HP Color laser gloss.....

    Printer not ready

    Also if there are PS and PCL drivers available, normally we'd use PS but in rare cases PS is glitching and PCL works - give it a try.

    Printer not ready

    Hi Darlek, I have a feeling that problem isn't in printer but in your workflow. If you can ping the printer and print a test page from your PC - generally it would mean that everything is set correctly. Did you try to print something using just a Print driver?

    Production printer advice please.

    wow! 20k euro for 6501?! We had offers of 14-15 USD on 6501 with baby counts - near 100K. It is a good strategy to push you to buy from them for a rip-off price and they deserve that you take your money to the competition. There must be a choice of a dealers, not just one.
