Print striping

Sounds like a dirty platen (that cylindrical roller thing). If you can get to it, use isopropyl alcohol on a rag.

Ink collector almost full

100% agreed with rrrdddrrrddd. In addition:
Go to Menu->System->INK CU Replace. You will get a warning that overflow may occur(and it's really a messy job), reset the counter and everything should be OK.

I need step by step

Hi there,

Well first of all you can try cleaning your printer heads using the operating system options -
Please follow the below steps -
1. In XP, click your Start button, then choose "Printers and Faxes" in the list. If it isn't there, go to your computer's Control Panel and click on "Printers and Other Hardware," and then "Printers and Faxes." (For Classic View, you can go straight to "Printer and Faxes" in your Control Panel.) Continue to Step 2.

In Vista, click Start button and Control Panel, then select Hardware and Sound » Printer. (For Classic View, just click "Printers.")
 
2. Highlight your printer by clicking it once, then right-click on the printer icon and choose "Properties." In the box that pops up, select the "Maintenance" tab at the top.
 
3. There are usually four options you can try here. They are listed as Cleaning, Deep Cleaning, Print Head Alignment, and Nozzle Check.

If your print-outs are showing lines, click Print Head Alignment and follow the instructions onscreen. Make sure the printer is turned on, with paper. You will compare the print-out with the one on your computer, and, hopefully, it will correct the problem. If not, try the alignment again.

If you're seeing too much of a particular color, like pink or green, this normally means your print head nozzles are clogged. Try the Cleaning option a couple times first, and then try the Deep Cleaning. Both will use ink, but the Deep Cleaning will consume the most.

When cleaning is done, click to print a Nozzle Check and compare it with the one on your screen.


Post further comments for more help or information....

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Can the Ricoh GX3050n cartridges be refilled?

These cannot be refilled. You have to buy new ones each time. I would look into a new printer that has cheaper cartriges or use ink that can be filled. Sorry.

Hi, I have Ricoh Aficio MP c2800, Machine say toner undetectable all four when i check system status and yellow, cyan is not show up on copies at all

If your Ricoh Aficio MP C2800 is showing "toner undetectable" messages for all four toner cartridges and the yellow and cyan colors are not showing up in copies, there may be several potential causes for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:
  1. Check Toner Cartridges: Ensure that all four toner cartridges are correctly installed and securely seated in their respective slots. Make sure there are no protective seals or tapes left on the cartridges.
  2. Shake Toner Cartridges: Sometimes, toner inside the cartridges can settle or clump, leading to detection issues. Gently shake each toner cartridge side to side to redistribute the toner evenly.
  3. Replace Toner Cartridges: If the toner cartridges are old, empty, or expired, replace them with new, genuine Ricoh toner cartridges.
  4. Clean Contacts: Dust or debris on the toner cartridge contacts can interfere with communication. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the electrical contacts on both the toner cartridges and inside the printer.
  5. Check Developer Unit: The developer unit in the printer plays a crucial role in toner development and transfer. Ensure that the developer unit is clean and free from any obstructions.
  6. Perform a Firmware Update: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your Ricoh MP C2800 printer. Updating the firmware might address known issues and improve printer performance.
  7. Reset the Printer: Power off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. Power the printer on to see if the issue resolves.
  8. Check Toner Detection Sensors: The printer uses sensors to detect the presence of toner cartridges. Verify that these sensors are functioning correctly and not blocked by any debris.
  9. Perform a Factory Reset: As a last resort, you can try performing a factory reset on the printer. However, be aware that this will reset all settings to their defaults, and any custom configurations will be lost
