My laptop isn't detecting my Ricoh printer during setup. What should I do to troubleshoot?

If your laptop isn't detecting your Ricoh printer during setup, try these troubleshooting steps: 1. **Check Power and Cables:** Ensure the printer is powered on and all USB/Ethernet cables are securely connected. 2. **Network Connectivity:** For network printers, verify both the printer and laptop are on the same Wi-Fi network and that the Wi-Fi signal is strong. Restart your router. 3. **Printer IP Address:** If using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection, check the printer's control panel for its IP address and try adding it manually on your laptop using that IP. 4. **Firewall/Antivirus:** Temporarily disable your laptop's firewall or antivirus software to see if it's blocking detection. 5. **Restart Devices:** Restart both your printer and laptop. 6. **Update Drivers:** Ensure you have the latest drivers for your specific Ricoh model downloaded from their website.
