The SC 441 is a color pcu motor lock. One of the waste toner augers is clogged with waste toner not letting the drum turn. The only real fix is to replace the color pcu unit. If you could get the auger and drum out it might be possible to free it up, but you will probably damage the drum in the process.

We have a Ricoh Aficio CL3500N. We are getting a

Never clean or touch the Transfer Roller (spongey rooler) unless your using a dry cloth or vaccum as last measure.

Usually the transfer roller sits on a drum/pcu specific to that color. If you can tell which color is sitting on to of the roller replace that drum/pcu.

SC 441 Alert, Richo Aficio CL 3500N

I have run into this several times with these printers. In every case, it has been the CMY PCU. These run about $300.

I have read that by cleaning the PCU, you can get it to work sometimes. So far, I have not been lucky enough for it to work.

Ricoh CL3500CL CODE 441

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

sc441 error means one or more of the developer unit(PCU) isnt rotating. you have to take the PCU out to see which color isnt rotating. there maybe one of the doctor blade is flipped, usually caused by lack of toner in the PCU.
