UNSOLVED
900 Service RIP Software
Original Dell M5200 Laser (7 months old). Intermittent error described in the subject for the past 4 months. I restart printer and the error clears but returns after a few days.
I did a quick google search and found several sites that claim that configuring the
Restrictive Server List parameter of the printer via telnet will solve my problems
I did what the document claims but the error returned 3 days later.
I contacted Dell support and a tech replaced the controller board but the error returned after 1 week. I contacted Dell support again and a new printer was deliver to my door within 24 hrs.
I installed the new printer last night. This morning the "900 Service RIP Software" error message was being displayed on the LCD screen of the new printer.
These printers are a headache and I will not buy another Dell printer ever again. I asked the support desk to send me a parallel port adapter that I can install on the printer (no answer on my request yet). My plan is to use an HP Jet Direct external print server.
- The Dell M5200 is essentially the same printer as Lexmark T630. The firmware file can be downloaded from the Lexmark website. I don't know why Dell hasn't posted this yet. (the file name is the same:55_10_61.fly)):

I have been receiving that exact error on my W5300 printers. I too have replaced the system board and that did not help.
Here's what did help:
1) if you disable in the web interface, under Printer Server SEttings the HTTP Server Enabled, and the HTTP Config Enabled - the problem WILL go away. HOWEVER, you will loose the ability to remotely administer these printers.
2) Just yesterday Dell supplied a firmware upgrade that is to fix the 900 RIP errors. The file name is: 551_061.fly
This is a firmware upgrade that is to fix the problem, then you do not need to unenable the web interface.
Good Luck.
