as it is a current user registry key, there shouldn't be an issue in the registry.Įach department has a unique 3 digit ID code used for billing purposes. You would need to adjust the code with a value of 30 to get the proper binary value the driver understands.įor example the user code 1234 would need to be put in as 31003200330034 then create a login script to read the po box field for the user in AD and populate the code into the registry. What i have done is to enter the individual codes into a specific field in AD such as the pobox.
if you look further into this area you will find entries that are associated to the printer/driver name here is the key you would change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RICOH\JOBCODE\JCUserCode. you would need to manually change a regisrty binary value(via a login script) to get this to work. I have manged to do this on a pcl5 version of the driver. But if anyone else has any other ideas for the making the native functionality work I'm open to suggestions. I can at least log the user activity if nothing else. I'm not about to edit print drivers on a device that we spent over $8k on that was supposed to include "enterprise level support"ĭon't get me wrong I appreciate the suggestion and if we had bought the machine "as is" I'd probably look into it.įor the moment my solution is to use the free version of Papercut.
Needless to say I reacted with a blank stare. Yeah that's what the onsite support guy (who shows up one out of five times that he's supposed to, but don't get me started on that) that comes with the purchase of the printer suggested. However, Ricoh recently discontinued the Print Driver Editor, so it may be hard to find. With the Ricoh, you can use Ricoh's Print Driver Editor program to edit PCL6 drivers before you deploy them, and one of the edits you can make is to have a box pop up asking for a user code.
