Install WIA driver for RICOH MP301 printer in Windows 10

 In company where I work we have Ricoh MP301 printer/scanner.

Interesting, if you try to scan from Windows 10 you will face little problems like not supported WIA driver for scanning.

Well, you should look for drivers on official Ricoh page, download TWAIN and / or WIA drivers and install them. OK, TWAIN is easy to install, it has its own installing software. What about WIA ? In this situation you will need this procedure:

How to install the WIA driver

1. Go to the following folder C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer. Run ImagingDevices.exe.
2. Select Add Device…
3. Select Next.
4. Select Have Disk…
5. Select Browse…
6. Go to the folder where the WIA scanner driver files were extracted to. Open the folder. ...
7. Select required inf  file. ...
8. Select OK.

After this wait a minute and additional device will be installed to your computer, in this situation it is a scanner. After this procedure MP301 scanner is accesible and working 100% :)

 

Enjoy.
