Ricoh Aficio MP C2030 - Job abgebrochen, Command Error

Hatte versucht, die PCL Treiber für PCL 5 und PCL 6 zu installieren. Jedesmal das Problem, dass die Druckaufträge zwar an den Drucker geschickt wurden, die Aufträge dort aber jedes mal abgebrochen wurden.

Im Log war ersichtlich, dass es sich um einen Command Error handelt - also fehlerhafte Befehle (im Rückblick natürlich logisch :-). Bei Ricoh angerufen - dort wurde mitgeteil, man solle doch den RPCS verwenden, da PCL bekannte Fehler aufweise.

Und tatsächlich - die PCL Treiber schafften es nicht einmal, eine Notepad "Hello World" Textdatei erfolgreich an den Drucker zu schicken. Per RPCS sofort Erfolge ohne Probleme.

Kann also bei Problemem mit Ricoh Multifunktionsstationen nur empfehlen, den RPCS Treiber zu installieren

To access the shared folder via Windows add a Network Drive - the server name is always \\vboxsrv.

Activate SATA

To get your system partition on sata, boot up your guest and install the sata-driver. After installing shutdown guest and hook the IDE-VDI file under SATA. Now it should work.
I tried a few times to install xp with a sata-driver-floppy, but that always ended in a bluescreen, so use above method.

Acer Aspire One A150 - Black Screen - No Bios Boot

After booting from USB devices (like after installation from LIVE-CD from USB-Stick), Acer Aspire One A110 and A150 often hangs and needs a bios update, to remove black screen of death.


Download actual bios from Acer website. Unzip it, copy the content of the dos-folder to the root of a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted usb-stick. Now you have a flashit.exe and a ****.fd. It's good to use a usb-stick with activity-le, to see, if somethings happens.
Make a copy of flashit.exe and name it flash.exe - one of them is called by the pre-bios-flasher later. Then you have to rename ****.fd to ZG5IA32.fd.
Power of the netbook, make shure you inserted battery pack and ac-plug - both is needed. Insert usb-stick in netbook.
Then hold FN and ESC-key simultaniously and power on - the power-button will now blink to show you, that the pre-bios-flasher is active. Release FN-ESC and press the power button again - now it will check your usb-stick and start updating the netbook. If that happens, the usb-stick will blink for some time. Don't do anything with your netbook at this time - wait for reboot, now bios should boot regulary.
If your netbook does not reboot after, let's say 5 minutes and usb-stick is not blinking any more, something went wrong with the bios update.
